Time-travelling penguins Pablo and Splash must fight gladiators in Ancient Rome in this hilarious full-colour graphic novel, in a British Book Award-shortlisted series. Fans of Bunny vs Monkey or InvestiGATORS will love it.

‘You’ll laugh your flippers off!’ John Patrick Green, creator of InvestiGATORS

‘Irresistibly funny’ Guardian

When their penguin pal Benji won’t believe they’ve travelled through time, Pablo and Splash have a point to prove. The two travel to Ancient Rome, hoping to bring back a centurion helmet as proof of their adventures. But when Pablo and Splash meet an emperor with a passion for collecting exotic birds, only some quick thinking – and emergency time travel – can save them from the fate that awaits them in the Colosseum!
‘Pablo and Splash is my favourite book series and I love it! Roman Holiday is my favourite book so far. I couldn’t stop laughing my head off’ – Dougie, age 9

‘Pablo and Splash are hilarious. I love this book!’ – Oscar, age 7


‘I wish I could time travel with Pablo and Splash. They make me laugh so much’ – Noah, age 8
