The Diary of Teti-Tuti Shirley Harber

'Who'd want to read my diary?' asks young apprentice scribe Teti-Tuti. His teacher says, 'In the future, people will want to read about how we used to live.' Still unconvinced, Teti-Tuti unrolls a piece of papyrus and begins. He writes about everyday life in the time of Rameses the Second, as well as the girls he fancies, his uncle being eaten by a crocodile and his best friend Seti, who is being bullied. This look at life in Ancient Egypt is told with a modern voice, plenty of humour and fun, plus some great digs at the adult society of Teti-Tuti's day.
