Bronze Dagger — Linda Upham

Ina and Alan live in dangerous times, when many of the villages around them are rebelling against the Roman military occupation, and are frequently harassed by Roman soldiers looking for rebels. Ina finds a wounded fugitive who has a beautiful and unusual bronze dagger. Grandmother recognises it as the work of the children's father, who was taken away by the Roman soldiers many years before. Can the dagger lead Ina and Alan to their father? This unusual story is set in Lincolnshire at the time of Boudicca's uprising. The past comes to life in this exciting adventure story of the children's search for their father. Many of the places they visit and the roads they use are still exist today - but it was very different back then.
