Detectives in Togas

In this original and and humorous history-mystery, seven young boys solve strange crimes in Ancient Rome. In Detectives in Togas, Rufus is accused of breaking into the schoolroom, tying up his teacher, and painting a slur on the Temple of Minerva. But he didn't do any of those things! Together with his six classmates, Rufus must find out who is really responsible for this vandalism before it's too late. The boys find clue after clue, which only confuses them more, before they discover that someone is not what he appears to be.
