And he couldn’t care less.

Harry and Jett are time travellers. But more than that – they’re best friends. After saving the world from time-manipulating Nazis and restoring the past, the boys thought their adventures had ended.

But they’ve got a new problem — because doors, once opened, seldom stay closed.
And now a boy from Ancient Rome, stranded in time, is determined to learn all of their secrets.

A boy who would do anything to avenge his father.
A boy who would do anything to change his past.
Even if it means erasing the future…

Join Harry and Jett on another rip-roaring adventure in this millennia-spanning second book in the PARTNERS IN TIME series.

"**Partners in Time Meet A Boy Called Romulus**" is a charming blend of historical intrigue, wit, and heartfelt storytelling. The narrative follows the eccentric duo of time-traveling historians as they land in ancient Rome and encounter a young Romulus, the legendary founder of the city.

Partners in Time Meet A Boy Called Romulus" is an exceptional entry in the Partners in Time series, offering a delightful mix of humor, history, and heartfelt character development. This time-travel adventure plunges the eccentric duo, Clara and Theo, into the early days of Rome’s founding, where they meet a boy destined for greatness—Romulus himself.From the moment Clara and Theo arrive, hilarity ensues. Their modern sensibilities clash hilariously with the rugged realities of ancient Rome. Whether it's Theo mistakenly offending a local chieftain by misusing Latin or Clara attempting to introduce personal hygiene to skeptical villagers, the comedic timing is sharp and consistent. The authors have a gift for blending anachronistic humor with cultural nuance, making the ancient world feel both vibrant and approachable.Romulus is the emotional core of the story. The portrayal of him as a conflicted, ambitious young boy who dreams big but struggles with the expectations placed upon him is both refreshing and deeply human. His relationship with his twin brother, Remus, is especially poignant, as the story carefully hints at the eventual tragedy that will befall them. These moments add weight to what could have been a purely comedic narrative, reminding readers of the high stakes in history's unfolding

The story is packed with humor—true to the series’ hallmark style—but what stands out is its seamless weaving of historical details with fictional flair. Romulus is portrayed as a surprisingly relatable figure, grappling with doubts and a destiny that feels larger than life. The protagonists’ attempts to mentor him, while bumbling through Roman customs and politics, make for plenty of comedic moments.

Despite the lighthearted tone, the book doesn’t shy away from exploring weightier themes like leadership, legacy, and the human desire to leave a mark on history. The pacing is brisk, the dialogue snappy, and the climax—where modern sensibilities clash with ancient traditions—is both thrilling and thought-provoking.

This installment offers a clever and engaging take on Roman mythology while staying true to the quirky charm fans of the series have come to love. A must-read for fans of historical fiction with a humorous twist!
