Notes

Meet Jack. He’s ... barking! It was back. The hair on his face was thicker than ever. And it wasn’t just a beard. Now his eyebrows were meeting in the middle to form a thick band of black-blue hair across his forehead - a mono-brow goes wild. Jack Bootle-Cadogan is a normal sort of kid - until the day he is bitten by a dog in a graveyard. The next thing he knows, he is sprouting a facial hair and fangs are growing in his mouth. He can’t go to school looking this RUFF! Thanks to a family curse, Jack is destined to become Anubis, Egyptian god of the dead : half-human, half-jackal. Only he can perform the rituals to allow the souls of the dead to pass safely through to the Afterlife. Can Jack rise to the challenge - master his new secret rituals - and still win the school long-distance run? A hilarious off-the-wall story about a boy who is losing his head.
