Meet Jack Bootle-Cadogan, fairly ordinary lord-to-be - until he grows facial hair, pointy teeth and a need to mummify the dead. Destined by a family curse to transform into Anubis, Egyptian god of death, Jack battles pig-headed deities, his parents and his destiny as he helps Egyptian ruler Osiris find his way back to the throne and save the world from never-ending darkness under the rule of Seth.
With hilarious buddies like Bone, Minty and Ozzy 'n' Ice facing a multitude of enemies and archeological annihilation, the trilogy takes Jack BC from the stately pile in Hampshire to the depths of the Nile. Pulling brains through noses? It's no challenge for Jack and his gang.
This Egyptology extravaganza of adventures for readers of 10 and up is one of the SWAGG Origin Stories from author of the best-selling Jane Blonde series, Jill Marshall. Meet up with Jack again in the first of the S*W*A*G*G series, Spook.
