Atticus discovers that his father is about to get killed by a gladiator. Will Atticus be able to save his dad?
Opinion:
I don't think the book was that good because it wasn't really exciting and there really was no climax and no close calls. The style the author wrote the book in was real slow and not very detailed. The plot was boring and I wasn't very excited to read this book. I would have liked to know what happened to Atticus when he grew up.
