Let's Do The Pharaoh!

Author:Jeremy Strong

Sennapod ('he whose name mumbles down the ages'), the ancient Egyptian pharaoh, is still living at 27 Templeton Terrace with the Lightspeed family. By accident, he wins a competition to find the Face of the Future, and soon designer bandages and doing the pharaoh dance become all the rage. But he's also recognised by villains Jelly and Grimstone who are still after his treasure map. Comic chaos follows as the chase ends up in hospital with loads of people in bandages - designer and otherwise - plus the usual collection of cats who follow Sennapod around. But, hooray, the villains are caught, the treasure map is safe and Sennapod can go on living happily with the Lightspeeds.
