Let's Do The Pharaoh!

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.

Reviews

I challenge anybody to read this anthology without being inspired to learn more! Highly recommended, this is an anthology to contemplate, revisit and relish

—— LoveReading4Kids

His books crackle with good humour and invention

—— TES

King of comedy

—— Guardian

His books are preposterously entertaining

—— Observer

Pullman's writing is spellbinding, his storytelling brilliant.

—— Scotsman

His Dark Materials wasn't just the best children's book – it was also the most interesting fictional experiment of our times.

—— Reader's Digest

An eye-widening fantasy, a scorching thriller and a thought-provoking reflection on the human condition, this is a book that can be enjoyed at many levels.

—— Guardian
