About Back to Pompeii

"The choking ash that finally and inevitably lays a suffocating blanket over the city is frighteningly described. Back to Pompeii is a good read and a book I would happily put in the hands of any 12-to-15-year-old.

(And it wouldn’t bore the pants off their parents either.)"

Teacher and translator John Nixon

"I just finished Back to Pompeii.

Wow! What an exciting (and fairly terrifying) story!

I would really love to know more about the adventures of Theo, Pluto and Ramona." Dr. Sarah Russell

The author Bodil Mårtensson about Kim's books:

"Kim Kimselius never disappoints her readers!

With exciting stories, wonderful language and a great sense to interest readers. Kim gives a reading experience that lasts much longer than the book itself.

Kim's engaging storytelling gives true reading pleasure. "

Pure joy and easy to read. Very well written, and awesome edutainment.
