The first in a brand new series from the fevered imagination of the award-winning, bestselling author of MR GUM.
Welcome to the last days of Pompeii as you’ve NEVER imagined them before! Join fart-trader Caecilius, his wife, Vesuvius, and their ten-year-old son, Filius, in a bizarre world of accidental gladiators, pizza-emitting volcanoes and the legendary Ma-wol-n-f. You’ll meet the household servant, Slavius; thrill at the misadventures of Barkus Wooferinicum and generally have an uproariously hilarious time of it all. Full of ludicrous characters, surreal escapades and outrageous word play – if you thought Mr Gum was weird, then get a load of the Ancient Pompeiians! A hilarious new series from the funniest that will have 7+ readers howling with laughter. Did you know that rotten old villain, Mr Gum, has sold 3.6 million books in the UK alone?

It is very funny

Interesting, it was a rather good read but I think that I have read better books. It was rather funny and exciting but a bit boring at some points too.

It is a funny book but near the end it becomes a bit violent. My favorite character is Mirror Men because they follow the characters everywhere to the point they are very annoying. I am not sure I would recommend it.
Commander Pongo Wheeliebin 07.08.2022

Absolutely crazy, really funny read and some mysteries - what even are mirror men?!
Lieutenant Chip Hoverboard 22.07.2021
The story is impossible to happen but funny and misinformed.

Amazing. Just amazing. And so funny! This book, by Andy Stanton, is set in Roman times, but it is mainly fiction. Or did the Romans really have Mirror-Men? It is about a family: a mother, a father, a son, a dog, and a slave. So many things happen in this book, and it's so awesome!
