This Tony Bradman Collection brings together four fast-paced historical adventures, each dropping a young hero into a pivotal moment of the ancient or early medieval world. Viking Boy, Greek Boy, Anglo-Saxon Boy and Roman Boy turn Key Stage 2 history topics into gripping fiction full of danger, loyalty and self-discovery. Ideal for readers aged nine to twelve who love action, real history and strong young protagonists, this paperback set is a brilliant addition to any bookshelf, classroom or gift list.
About the Books:
In Viking Boy, Gunnar's peaceful life as a chieftain's son is shattered when raiders led by Skuli kill his father, sending him on a vengeful voyage steeped in Norse myth. Anglo-Saxon Boy follows a young hero navigating the brutal power struggles and family feuds of eleventh-century England as the fateful Battle of Hastings draws near, exploring the human cost behind the crown. Roman Boy sees a young protagonist confront Celtic rebels, a vengeful stepfather and his own self-doubt as he serves in the Roman legion under a false identity, uncovering long-hidden truths about his past. Greek Boy takes the series to Ancient Greece, following Nikos, son of an important Athenian politician, into a dangerous mission of espionage and treachery during the Persian Wars. Across all four books, Tony Bradman blends meticulously researched historical detail with pacey, emotionally engaging storytelling, giving readers a genuine feel for what life was like during some of history's most turbulent eras, while never losing sight of the personal stakes facing each young hero.
