Synopsis

Rome AD 36. The mighty Feline Empire rules the world. Queen Boudicat has declared war on Rome and wants Spartapuss to join her rebel army. Our ginger hero can't see how a tiny tribe of Kitons can take on the mighty Feline Empire. But warrior queens don't take 'No' for an answer. Boudicat is not for turning, she's for burning! Action-packed and full of historical details, the Spartapuss series follows the diary of a gladiator cat from Rome to the Land of the Kitons (A.K.A. Britain). Boudicat, the fourth book in the Spartapuss series, was awarded an 'Exclusively Independent' pick of the month for July 2009.

About this title

Review:

Cat-tastic! (London Evening Standard) This is too good to be left just as a children's book! Extremely funny and brilliantly written. Robin Price has taken the events of Roman history focusing around the time of Emperor Tiberius, Caligula and Claudius and turned it into something fascinating. (Angela Longman, Monsters and Critics.com) An exciting series... really good books. I would recommend them to 10 year olds and upwards who enjoy thrillers that you can t put down til you ve read the whole thing! --The Journal of Classics Teaching, Spring 2008

The Spartapuss book by Robin Price is brilliant, funny, fantastic and cool. It s much better than Harry Potter. There are no bad words in it like Harry Potter and it's funnier. I can t wait to read the second one but my Mum and Dad are making me wait til it s my birthday, its not fair! --Amazon reader review: William Patrick Webb (Muscat, Oman)

A highly original story with lots of scope for giggles, it also provides some background history and can t fail to delight cat fans (or otherwise) everywhere! Booktrusted.co.uk --Booktrusted.co.uk
