Description
Grab your spears and shields - it's time to enter the arena!
The Romans have invaded Gallia and you are captured to fight, kill and die in a suitably sporting manner to entertain their crowds. If you survive, you could become a hero - but don't count on it. Join gladiator school and learn first hand what life was like as you eat, sleep and train like a gladiator!
The ever-popular 'You Wouldn't Want to Be' series transports readers to some of the grisliest times and places in history, perfect for reluctant readers! The humorous, first-person narrative approach places children directly in the shoes of some of history's most unfortunate people ever to have lived, great for engaging students with the history curriculum and encouraging further non-fiction reading.
