![]() ![]() Reading Aloud Age: I read this to my children ages 8 and 12 and both of them enjoyed it, and I was surprised how much the 8-yo got out of it.It was long and kind of hard for me to pay attention, but the general plot was quite interesting Couldn't understand the words, and I'm in the HIGHER lexile group, it's so long and boring I didn't like it at all! From these two mysteries, Rosemary Sutcliffe weaves the story of Marcus Flavius Aquila, the son of the Commander of the Ninth Legion who embarks on a quest to recover the lost eagle standard of the Ninth, the symbol of the Legion's and his family's honour. Then, during the excavations at Silchester nearly 1800 years later, a wingless Roman eagle was unearthed. Some time around AD 117-119, the Ninth Legion marched northwards into the wilds of Britain beyond Agricola's wall, to deal with a rising among the Caledonian tribes, and disappeared without trace. ![]()
