We always wanted to do the Gloster Gladiator in this series and so were delighted when Andrew Thomas offered to take on the task. Gladiator is a 2000 epic historical drama film directed by Ridley Scott and written by David Franzoni, John Logan, and William Nicholson.

Your selection was perfect for our children and what really made the difference was your ability to engage with each child, discuss their interests and help them to choose a suitable book based on your extensive knowledge of the books you were selling. Pupils will recognize and enjoy the depiction of the gladiator arena, as well as the references to Boudica and her revolt against the empire.

The setting of the story was moved forward to the second half of the century, and the Vietnam War replaced World War I, but the story remained largely intact. The deceit and betrayal that is the backbone of the story is well crafted and by the final chapters you'll be gripped to read the outcome, even if you have seen the film.

Vita is a very relatable protagonist; honest about her fears and confusion, yet brave and fiery in moments of crisis.

If you count the Oscar-winning film "Gladiator" amongst your favourites, like I do, or if you ever wondered what the true story as well as the true history behind it are, then this book is perfect for you.Learn why you should become a gladiator, how to join the profession, who will try to kill you (and what with), which arena of the empire is right for you, when and how often you will fight and what happens before, during and after the bout. Here he lands in the centre of all the intrigue of the Emperor Hadrian’s inner court, where everyone is plotting to become the next Emperor.
