Jasper is more than just a cute puppy. He's cheeky. He's smart. And he's cunning. But he's also a Prince, and heir to the throne of Anubia, a secret island gifted by the ancient Egyptian God, Anubis, to his treasured dogs 2500 years ago. Now that all sounds great, but the problem is Jasper's living in a sleepy coastal village in England, with a scatty Professor Percy Flint and his dog-hating housekeeper, Peculia. How did Jasper get there? Will he uncover his true identity? Will he return to his homeland, and what will befall him if he does? And how much more inventive can his methods of tormenting Peculia get?
