Millions Of Mummies

Synopsis

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. As part of the English Alive program, the novel has a number of accompanying worksheets, found in the English Alive Teacher Resource Book Phase 1, covering language, reading, thinking strategies, and an overview of the novel.
