British Museum Little Learners: Going for Gold

Join us for Little Learners, a new series of interactive author talks for curious little minds in collaboration with the British Museum. We're delighted to be hosting Blue Peter award-winning author Andy Seed to discuss his latest title Going for Gold: An Ancient Greek Puzzle Mystery. For children ages 7+ and their parents/guardians.

When Phoebe and Leon discover that a pentathlon athlete is cheating in the Olympic Games, they decide that they must stop him before it's too late. But there are a lot of puzzles to solve along the way, from a mysterious message discovered in the temple to a suspicious conversation at the stadion. Will Phoebe and Leon be able to stop the villain before the winner is crowned? It's a race to the finish line! Featuring ancient Greek messages, maps, logic puzzles and more, children will enjoy immersing themselves in ancient Greece and taking part in the story.
