Book description
Tony Lightspeed is always bringing home sick and injured animals, so
when he turns up with an unconscious man dressed from head to tie in
rather stinky bandages, his family aren't too surprised. But then they
discover that the man is an ancient Egyptian pharaoh named Sennapod, who
has been dead for over 4,000 years. Brought back to life by two
dastardly grave robbers, Sennapod is on the run. Can he persuade the
Lightspeeds to help him? Jeremy Strong is immensely popular with
children, particularly boys, who love his unique brand of silliness. He
won the Children's Book Award in 1997 with
The Hundred-Mile-An-Hour Dog
, and his books about Sigurd the Viking were made into a TV serial.
