Being whisked back to 1300 BC certainly wasn't on Henry's to-do list. Can he make his way through a new school, odd sports, unexpected friends and deadly pets, Egyptian style? And will he ever find his way back to the present day?

Description

The first book in a brilliantly funny new series, launching Thiago de Moraes into the illustrated fiction space for the very first time. When Harry is sucked into a decidedly unusual vortex, he travels back in time to Ancient Egypt, which is... not ideal.

After all, Harry is brilliant at maths and making lists, but surviving life in 3100 BC? Well, that certainly wasn’t on his ‘to do’ list for the day.

Will Harry survive? Will he find his way back to the present day? And, more importantly, will he ever get his homework back from that pesky crocodile...?

A Mummy Ate My Homework is the first book in this exciting new series that promises to be a hilarious adventure.
