Title: A Roman Girl's Diary AD 78 Pompeii
Author: Sue Reid
Genre: Historical fiction
It started out slow, but got interesting about halfway through the book, when Claudia meets a slave English boy who has been separated from his sister and later sold as a gladiator. Claudia gets quite attached to the boy, not able to go the gladiator shows for fear of seeing him get hurt. She also has what seems to be an unreasonable fear of the mountain Vesuvius.
What is known as a mountain is actually a volcano...

This book was interesting to read except for the slow beginning.
These books are a good way to learn about historical events.
