Cassia's diary: the story of one girl's adventures in ancient Rome

Cassia and her family live in a tiny apartment in ancient Rome.

Her parents are too poor to send her to school. Instead, Cassia and her brother spend their days working at a stinky laundry cleaning dirty clothes.

Cassia dreams of a better life for her and her family.

If only they could move out of the noisy city onto a quiet farm.

But how will Cassia ever be able to make her dream come true?
