|title=Diary Of Dorkius Maximus In Egypt
|author=Tim Collins
|rating=5
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=Having enjoyed the [[Diary of Dorkius Maximus by Tim Collins|first book in this series]] we were quite keen to try the sequel. Although this is part of what I hope will be a very long series, it is not necessary to have read the first book to enjoy this one. This book sees Dorkius Maximus rewarded for his activities by being asked to accompany Caesar on an important visit to Egypt. Ceasar hopes young Dorkius may be able to help negotiate a deal with the odious King Ptolemy, who happens to be about the same age as our hero.
