    A Reading Gladiator veteran! I hope you are sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm with all around you. Good luck as you enter battle for a second time! We'd love to know your favourite Gladiator books.

  • We want to read more already!

    So far we’ve enjoyed finding out what new vocabulary means and sharing sections we liked. We already would recommend it and now we wonder if there’s a third book in the series after this?

    Wow - you're off to a flying start! Isn't it great when you discover an author and series you really like? You're in luck if you can wait for a couple of weeks for Book Three!
