Children’s author Ally Sherrick comes to Goldfinch in the Spring Half Term holiday (14th Feb) as her new book, Vita and the Gladiator is published (2nd Feb).

Following the epic stand-alone adventures of Black Powder, The Buried Crown and The Queen’s Fool, comes a new rip-roaring tale from the rising queen of middle-grade historical fiction. Enter the terrifying gladiator’s arena in Roman London alongside our unlikely heroine, Vita, as she gets caught up in a dark underworld of intrigue and revolt.
