Congrats to Vikram East today as he launches his debut novel, Fun in Ancient Greece. The book manages to do for homework what homework never did for books: make learning fun!

The assignment? Convince the elementary school principal to take the third grade class to one of four civilizations: Rome, Greece, Egypt, or China.

Fascinated by gods and warriors, Vikram chose to head off to Ancient Greece.

Stop by later for an audio edition and an interview with the young author. Enjoy!

Can Zeus and friends save the day?

Ms. Hollier’s school will be shut down if she doesn’t take the third grade back to ancient Greece. She has the students build a flying surfboard to take them there so they can gather the information—and an artifact—they need to save the school. Will the class make the discoveries in time to keep Collie Cosher Elementary open?
