Roman Tales: The Goose Guards
Terry Deary, Helen Flook
From the bestselling author of Horrible Histories, named ‘the outstanding children’s non-fiction author of the 20th century’ by Books For Keeps

387 BC
Rome is under attack from the vicious Gauls and the barbarian army is now preparing to besiege the Temple of Juno on Capitol Hill, home of Brutus, a trainee priest. The temple’s inhabitants are offered help from the army of Lord Furius, but are not sure if he is to be trusted. However, when rescue eventually comes it is from an even more
unlikely source…
A tale based on one of the most famous of all Roman legends, full of Terry Deary’s dark humour and dry wit.

I found this book very interesting. I liked the Gauls characters best because they were holy. I would recommended this book.

It's a very short book so it doesn't take too long to read but it's quite funny.
