Tony Bradman's award-winning historical-adventure series goes to Ancient Greece: Greek Boy - one boy's journey into espionage and treachery during the Persian wars.

"For thrilling real-life action-adventure, you won't get much better than Tony Bradman." lovereading.co.uk

For fans of Percy Jackson and Dominic Sandbrook - Key Stage 2 history topics brought to life as pacey action thrillers. Nikos is the son of an important Athenian politician as the shadow of war against the Persians descends over Ancient Greece. When his father is forced to flee Athens, leaving his family behind, Nikos hears shocking news; his father is accused of spying for the Persian king. As Persia invades Greece, Nikos and his family are cast out as traitors. Determined to clear his father's name, Nikos goes undercover as a Greek spy in the Persian army. His quest for the truth - personal and political - takes Nikos from the burning of Athens to the famous battles of Salamis and Platea.

Packed with Curriculum-linked adventure content: Ancient Greek civilization and the Persian wars.
