About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is resistant to traditional reading or when you want to spark curiosity about history through a high-energy, visual format. This installment of the Geronimo Stilton graphic novels transports the reluctant reporter back to Ancient Rome to stop time-traveling cats from changing history. It is an excellent choice for kids who thrive on visual cues and fast pacing, blending humor with genuine archaeological wonder. While the tone is lighthearted and comical, the story emphasizes the importance of teamwork and historical preservation. It is perfectly pitched for the 7 to 10 age range, offering a 'brain break' that still builds vocabulary through stylized typography. Parents will appreciate how it turns a lesson on the Colosseum into a thrilling heist mystery that rewards observant readers.

Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and lighthearted. While it features 'villains' (the Pirate Cats) and mild peril, the approach is metaphorical and slapstick. There is no real violence or historical trauma depicted. The resolution is hopeful and restores the status quo.
