Mortified: Lost in the Sands of Time

How far back in time will Mort go to avoid school? For 10,000 year-old Mortimer DeVere, and his sister Agnetha, the answer is: a very long way indeed. As far as the DeVere children are concerned, they have eaten their last soggy sandwich, handed in their last piece of homework and avoided their last bully. But thanks to the relentless School Inspector, Trish Molyneux, it looks like they will be making another appearance behind desks before too long. In a desperate bid for freedom, and with an angry Trish hot on their heels, Mort and Agnetha find themselves marooned in ancient Egypt along with a grumpy Queen Victoria, a nosy writer who believes in fairies, a hungry psycho crocodile, and a tunnel full of bloodthirsty mummies. Suddenly, school isn’t looking quite so bad.
