(4) 4-6 Illustrated by David Parkins. This oversize, heavily illustrated volume is presented as the diary of Iliona, a young Greek girl captured and sold as a house slave in ancient Rome. Though the cartoony illustrations are sometimes jarring, readers will find themselves learning about such topics as Roman government, dress, and sanitation, while engaged in Iliona's adventures. Timeline. Bib., glos., ind.
Reviewer: T. Borregaard
