Synopsis

‘“I want a roast hippopotamus stuffed with figs and dates, three lots of French fries, no ketchup - and a slice of birthday cake.” The Pharaoh glared at Mr Lightspeed. “You are nothing but a small worm,” he added. Then he sank unconscious into a puddle.’

Tony Lightspeed is always bringing home sick and injured animals, so when he turns up with an unconscious man dressed from head to foot 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?
