    I would like to use the following books for our history study:

     

    A Triumph for Flavius by Snedeker

    Detectives in Togas by Winterfield

    The Beast of Lor by Bulla

     

    However, I’m not sure if they would be better read in a certain order?  Does anyone have experience with these books and knowing how they are set chronologically in history?

     

    Thanks so much,

    Melissa

    I know all these books.  I can’t really think of a good reason historically do do them in a particular order, but the Bulla book is shortest and easiest to read, then probably Flavius, then Detectives in Togas.  We do love them all.  There is a romance section in Flavius that I noticed, and the Togas books (there is at least one sequel) have some intense action and quite a bit of relatively creepy stuff.  I can’t at the moment remember which things took place in which of the Togas books, but at least one of them has an extended section with an unsavory character, some fake mythology stuff involving rituals and masks and a boy being stuck in a bathhouse.  I kind of amended parts of that one when I read it to my youngest one when he was 7ish.
