Noah Ramsbottom and the Runaway Sphinx

Noah Ramsbottom and the Runaway Sphinx is the fourth book in the Noah Ramsbottom children's book series. It follows nine-year-old Noah as he explores a magic cave in the Yorkshire Dales, where he has some pretty cool adventures. Because, you see, Victoria Cave is packed full of elves and magic doors just waiting for curious children.

In book one, Noah visited a world populated by dinosaurs. Book two was an exciting pirate adventure, and book three told how the elves tried to stop two evil leprechauns.

In this latest tale, Noah is visiting the British Museum in London, when a mummy in a coffin whispers his name! Curiosity gets the better of him and Noah discovers it's really a girl elf named Lilyplod. She asks Noah to return immediately to the magic cave for an urgent mission back to ancient Egypt, where the Sphinx has been brought back to life by Count Von Uglyplug and it is smashing up Giza!

Only Noah, a magical griffonhopper, a sandserpent, the brave Lilyplod, and a huge amount of Yorkshire puddings can save the day!

Robert Bullock is a full-time writer living in the Yorkshire Dales. He visits schools, libraries, and community groups presenting workshops for children from pre-school age to teenagers. He is the chairman of a local pet rescue organisation. "So many children are interested in ancient Egypt. And so many girl readers asked me to write a story where Noah's companion is a girl elf, so Lilyplod is in this story!" In his next book, Noah helps solve the mystery of Mona Lisa's enigmatic smile.
