To celebrate the imminent publication of Auntie Medusa and Me, I’m offering a limited number of free 25-minute virtual visits to schools. Choose either:
- Greco-Roman Myths in Auntie Medusa and Me
- Saturnalia – the Ancient Roman Christmas and other fun festival facts!
- Q and A session
You can book slots for the new term via the scheduler here. All I ask is children have some familiarity with the text (download the first chapter at the Chicken House website) and you consider using my books in the classroom.
Here’s the blurb:
Hiya! I’m Silvia, an ordinary kid just like you. At least, I was ordinary until I wound up in Ancient Rome as a demi goddess. Yeah, that took me by surprise too. But seriously, travelling back in time is nothing compared to what’s happening now: Medusa the gorgon wants her head back – and she’s chosen me to find it!
• Packed full of Roman and Ancient Greek mythology – as you’ve never seen it before!
• A laugh-out-loud funny family caper full of excitement and heart; perfect for fans of Loki, Horrible Histories and Who Let the Gods Out?
• Perfect for ages 8 and up; sure to be a hit with KS2 readers, as Romans and Greeks are a staple on the curriculum.
And while you don’t need to read My Family and Other Romans to enjoy Auntie Medusa and Me, it’s currently reduced on Amazon to just £5.49 so go grab yourself a bargain.
