Millions of Mummies is a fascinating story inspired by the ancient Egyptian practice of mummifying animals. Katty, her mum and new stepfamily share an exciting summer in Egypt where the interests of archaeologists and modern-day tomb robbers collide. It appears that Bastet, the cat goddess, will have a special role to play in the drama that unfolds. The novel is ideal for schools integrating English with SOSE/Humanities/HSIE as it provides an insight into ancient Egyptian civilisation.
When Katty goes to Egypt for the summer to work on an archaeological project involving animal mummies preserved by the ancient Egyptians, she thinks the biggest problem she will face is adjusting to her new step-family. At their oasis site, the interests of the archaeological team and modern-day tomb robbers soon collide as Katty, her mum and Alice find themselves facing a danger they hadn't bargained for. Can Bastet, the cat goddess and protector of children, rescue them from emtombment with millions of mummies?
