Ancient Rome and Pompeii

Ancient Rome and Pompeii is the nonfiction companion to Magic Tree House's Vacation Under the Volcano, answering the questions Jack and Annie bring back about how Rome became an empire, what Romans did for fun, and what the buried city of Pompeii still teaches us today. Black-and-white photos and illustrations pair with accessible text and research tips for young historians. This is a solid choice for students because it uses a beloved adventure series as a springboard into real ancient history and archaeology.
