  Sennapod recognized it at once. It was the treasure map. His heart leapt from utter despair to boundless joy in one enormous bound. He was almost speechless, so Tony Lightspeed filled in the details.

  ‘After you so kindly spilled paint all over my nice new bathroom I had to redecorate. There was paint splashed across the mirror, so I unscrewed it from the wall – and guess what I found underneath? Exactly. I hadn’t got round to putting up the new mirror before those clowns came in and trashed the place.’

  Sennapod rose to his feet. ‘We must celebrate our victory over those evil locusts, for Jelly and the Grimstones have been found wanting on Anubis’s Scales of Justice, and they shall be punished.’

  Ben and Carrie looked at each other. Celebrate? It sounded like a good idea. But how should they celebrate?

  ‘I know!’ Carrie yelled suddenly, and she raced downstairs and into the front room. A few moments later the walls of the house began to shake with the boom-boom-boom of her favourite band.

  In the bathroom, Sennapod’s eyes lit up. He led the others downstairs, and there the whole family began to slowly twist and turn and jerk their heads like demented chickens. It was definitely time to do the Pharaoh.
