Pete's Gran is in Love with Anubis

Pete has recently been orphaned and left to look after his grumpy, attention seeking Grandmother. When the part of the will 'Joint Fund' is read aloud to the family at Pratley's solicitors, Aunt Jemima coughs noisily. She has control over the fund leaving them in poverty while her life is on the up and up. Pete Bumblefuzz saves to hire a modest TV so he and his gran can watch documentaries. Unbeknownst to him Aunty has blacklisted the house with a vast selection of unpaid for luxuries. Delivery men reveal his blacklisted house can only hire a coin slot TV with a chain called 'The Convict'. Even bailiffs leave 66 Devonshire Road in tears. A chance encounter at an antique shop opens Pete's and Gran's world to magical Egypt. The antique shop is owned by Pete's friend, Sally Snicklefritz's Grandad. She sits next to him in their favourite class: History. The shop displays incredible Egyptian items that are out of place for Fishponds. Sally tells Pete, forty years before Grandad became lost in the Dakar Raleigh, where he came across a train of lost camels transporting a prince and his entourage. They were dying of thirst. Grandad saved their lives. The prince told him he would repay Mr. S. Many years later a crate of Egyptian antiquities arrived at Mr. S' small shop. In time Mr. S, realized he could conjure the god of the underworld, Anubis from a sarcophagus in the collection. Anubis has a penchant for weighing people's hearts against the eternal feather. Those with good hearts are rewarded and those, whos' hearts weigh more than the feather, are obliterated. Of chuckles and amazing results, 'Gran's in Love with Anubis', I hope will remain mummified fondly in your memory.
