Momling Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Roman Mysteries series have been a favorite here... I believe one or two of the later ones dealt with adult topics, but I can't remember which, so preview if you're concerned. My daughter did read them all with no apparent ill-effects.

Lily_Grace Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 We enjoyed The Bronze Bow and Eagle of The Ninth. There's a movie based on the second simply called The Eagle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
