They will also enjoy following Rufus as he struggles to free himself from slavery and the bothersome Sextus. Follow Rufus from his first days as he works on Cornelius' farm, through his escape, and to his arrival in Rome. Rufus is a smart and courageous young boy who will not let slavery or Sextus keep him down.
