2.		Eagle of The Ninth from OUP Oxford Price: £4.89 Customer Review: The Eagle of the Ninth is an oustanding classic read. While this was classed as a Children's book - for me now some 30 years after first reading it - I am excited. The author brings Roman Britian to life with some wonderful word pictures. A must read, again and again!	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		Rose Blanche from Red Fox Price: £4.45 Customer Review: What a fantastic, wonderful book - but not really for young children. The concepts are far too challenging. This is one for 9 to 99 year olds! I am a year 6 teacher, and part of my History curriculum covers life during World War 2. Although we barely touch on the effects of the war for children... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		I Believe in Unicorns from Walker Books Ltd Price: £4.49 Customer Review: (By Christopher aged 7 nearly 8) I read this book by myself and found it very interesting. I particularly liked the Unicorn Lady and the stories that she read. The end was sad - I didn't like the war. War is never good. I would like to receive another book by Michael Morpurgo for Christmas.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		The Silver Branch (Eagle of the Ninth) from OUP Oxford Price: £5.24 Customer Review: The Silver Branch is a sequel to Rosemary Sutcliff's classic The Eagle of the Ninth.

8.		The Lantern Bearers (Eagle of the Ninth) from OUP Oxford Price: £5.24 Customer Review: This is not just for children, however, since Sutcliff never patronises her readership. It is an epic story, covering its hero's life from an idealistic young Roman officer, to a mature veteran, contemplating his adult son's future in post-Roman Britain. As usual with Sutcliff's 'outsider'... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		Silver Sword from Jonathan Cape Ltd Price: £6.49 Customer Review: I remember seeing this on the BBC many years ago. This edition is beautifully produced and is still relevant today. Perhaps teaching today's hard done by children there their lot is not really so bad after all. The story is written in manageable chapters, each ending in a cliff hanger. The story is... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
