Five follow Julius Zebra, a wisecracking African zebra who blunders through ancient Rome, Britain, Egypt, Greece and China, while a bonus sixth title introduces the superpowered animal gang of Mighty Mega Pets. Bursting with cartoon illustrations, slapstick humour and genuine historical detail, this collection suits young readers who love laughing their way through a story while soaking up facts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Julius Zebra series opens with Rumble with the Romans!, where Julius and his savannah friends are captured and forced into gladiator training, fighting for freedom in the Colosseum. Battle with the Britons! sends the gang to rain-soaked Britain to clash with fierce tribes. Entangled with the Egyptians! shipwrecks the crew on the Nile, mistaken for sacred animals amid pyramid schemes and royal plots. Grapple with the Greeks! mixes mythical monsters, a labyrinth and a quest for a golden apple. Commotion in Ancient China! closes the main series with dynasties, inventions and imperial intrigue. The sixth book, Mighty Mega Pets: Freaky Food Fiasco!, is a separate graphic-novel series from the same author, following ordinary pets who gain wild powers after eating a mysterious substance, with a lighter focus on teamwork and friendship. Across all six titles, Northfield's scratchy cartoon art and rapid-fire jokes make history and adventure equally addictive, appealing to fans of illustrated humour fiction and reluctant readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombines real historical settings (Rome, Britain, Egypt, Greece, China) with laugh-out-loud animal comedy, making history feel like an adventure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavily illustrated, fast-paced chapters are ideal for reluctant readers and fans of illustrated humour fiction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes a bonus title from Gary Northfield's separate Mighty Mega Pets series, adding variety with a superpowered pet adventure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourages a love of reading through slapstick humour, cliffhangers and characterful cartoon artwork.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat value multi-book bundle, ideal as a birthday, Christmas or \"get them reading\" gift.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nGary Northfield is a British illustrator and comic creator, best known for co-creating the long-running Derek the Sheep strip for The Beano and for his work in The Phoenix comic.
