Overview
Meet Julius Zebra, the loud, opinionated hero who refuses to be anyone's dinner, in this riotously funny five-book paperback collection from Gary Northfield. Blending comic-strip artwork with fast-paced chapter-book storytelling, Julius drags his long-suffering friends through ancient Rome, Britain, Egypt and Greece, before rounding off the set with a joke book crammed full of gags. Perfect for ages 7-9, this collection turns history into hilarious, unforgettable adventure and is a brilliant pick for reluctant readers, classrooms and family bookshelves alike.
About the Books
The Julius Zebra series follows a stripy, sharp-tongued zebra captured on the African savanna alongside his friends Milus the lion and Cornelius the warthog, swept into the gladiatorial world of ancient Rome. In Rumble with the Romans!, Julius fights for survival and freedom in the Colosseum. Bundle with the Britons! sends the gang to the wild frontier of Roman Britain to face rebellious new opponents. Entangled with the Egyptians! sees Julius shipwrecked and mistaken for a horse god in ancient Egypt, while Grapple with the Greeks! pits him against mythical monsters alongside the demi-god Heracles in pursuit of a golden apple. Rounding out the set, Julius Zebra Joke Book Jamboree delivers a jam-packed collection of gags in the same irreverent spirit as the novels. Each book combines Gary Northfield's distinctive comic illustrations with accessible, funny prose, making ancient history feel vivid and thoroughly entertaining, while slipping in genuine historical detail and fun facts that make them a sneaky educational treat too.
