''Time Hunters'' is a new series of six books featuring a young Egyptian princess and a modern-day schoolboy who team up to locate six hidden amulets, scattered in a variety of dangerous historical locations. ''Gladiator'' ''Clash'' is the first book in the series and sees the duo magically transported to ancient Rome, where they train with gladiators and compete for a chance to fight in the arena with the most feared gladiator of all, Hilarus, who is currently unbeaten and just happens to possess the lost amulet.

However, I cannot deny the fact that this series is likely to be very popular with children and I think that anything that sparks a lifelong interest in history is a very valuable tool indeed. I am also intrigued as to what happens to Isis, so I will be looking forward to the next book and the opportunity to add to my card collection!
