This book is about
There is a boy called Spider who is a strange boy because he sometimes day-dreams. In school, he is learning about Romans. He keeps thinking about Egypt though. The class visit a museum. Spider gets told off because he is told to stay with his class, but he wanders off to learn about Egyptians. They find him inside a sarcophagus.

The main characters are
Spider McDrew

My favourite part of the book is
When Spider wanders off to learn about the Egyptians.

I would also like to say
Spider is called Spider because his hair looks like a spider.
