Time-travelling penguins Pablo and Splash must fight gladiators in Ancient Rome in this hilarious full-colour graphic novel, part of a British Book Award-shortlisted series. Fans of Bunny vs Monkey or InvestiGATORS will love it.
When their penguin pal Benji won’t believe they’ve travelled through time, Pablo and Splash have a point to prove. The two travel to Ancient Rome, hoping to bring back a centurion helmet as proof of their adventures. But when Pablo and Splash meet an emperor with a passion for collecting exotic birds, only some quick thinking — and emergency time travel — can save them from the fate that awaits them in the Colosseum!
"Pablo and Splash are hilarious. I love this book!" — Oscar, age 7 "I wish I could time travel with Pablo and Splash. They make me laugh so much" — Noah, age 8 "Gripping and enjoyable... should be recommended whatever the age of the reader. A really fun, enjoyable read. 10/10" — Irish Times on Pablo and Splash
