"It was back. The hair on his face was thicker than ever. But it wasn't just a beard. Now his eyebrows here meeting in the middle to form a thick band of blue-black hair across his forehead - a mono-brow gone wild."

Jack Bootle-Cadogan is a fairly average lord-in-the-making, until he begins to sprout facial hair and some very pointy teeth. He can't go to school looking this ruff!

Thanks to a family curse, Jack is destined to become Anubis, god of the dead. 50% human. 50% jackal. 100% busted.

Can he master his new secret rituals and still win the school's running competition? Find out in a hilarious tale of a boy who's losing his head - but gaining a free pass to the pyramids, the undead, and a crazy collection of friends and family.

A trilogy extravaganza of Egyptian adventures and a SWAGG Origin Stories series, from the author of the best-selling Jane Blonde series, Jill Marshall.
