This is book is about finding out who wrote "Caius is a dumbbell" in red paint on the temple wall. I love the mystery. I loved it because it was funny. The first part of the book is not as interesting as the rest. I didn't expect the ending. This review is by Ava.

I didn't like the plot (if you call it that) and the language calling someone a "dumbbell". The names were hard to read aloud Caius, Pulius, Flavius, Antonius, etc. etc. I put it down at chapter 8. I just couldn't take it anymore. My girls thanked me. We went to the library and got something else to read.

The entire family LOVED this book! Daddy was a bad as the kiddos, ages 4, 6, 8, 9, in begging to read more. We can't wait to read the sequel.

This has been our family's least favorite book to read so far. Our children, ages 9, 7, and 4, found it tedious and difficult to follow at times. As parents, we felt that some of the writing was meant more to be read to yourself rather than out loud.

"Detectives in Togas" is my favorite book. It's a story about seven kids and a teacher called Xantipus. The story is about a kid named Rufus who was arrested for writing on a temple wall, but his friends aren't sure if he did it. His friends try to rescue him. I liked this story because there are a lot of adventures in it. I liked the whole story. By Ethan in Japan (age 7)

You will hear whining if you choose not to read this book all in one sitting, but that is the only negative comment I can leave. Weekends have temporarily become school days just so we can read more of this book. :)

I like "Detectives in Togas" because it is exciting. The author leaves you hanging at the end of every chapter. I also liked trying to solve the mystery. The author didn't give it away until the end of the book. The story is in Rome and is about seven school boys in the fictitious Xanthos school. One boy, Rufus, is in trouble because he supposedly desecrated a temple. The other boys are trying to set him free. It's really cool, scary, and fun, especially for a boy to read or to have read to him. By Eli (age 7)

My daughters found this a very hard book to get into. The names are hard to read aloud and it seems hard to follow in some ways.

by Elizabeth, age 7. I love Detectives in Togas because it is funny and enjoyable. I think you will love it too. My favorite part was at the end when the teacher said, "Caius you really are a dumbbell!"
