Oh boy! Do I have a book for you! If you are one of the millions of "Lightning Thief" fans, you're going to want to check out "Laughing Wolf" by Nicholas Maes. Felix Taylor and his father love history and Latin. In the year 2213 they are considered weird because, after all, Latin is a dead language and, really, what can that old history teach you? Well, plenty! When the plague rears its ugly head and people start dying, it's up to Felix and his friend Carolyn to travel back in time to find the exinct flowering lupus ridens (or laughing wolf), the only remedy to this horrid disease. But it's 71 BC and Spartacus the former slave and Pompey the Roman are warring. How will two kids from the future escape their clutches? Take Ancient Rome and time travel and roll them together for a breathtaking, breakneck race to save mankind.
