“Elegantly designed for young fans of Ancient Egypt, this sweet ghost story of a pet’s love for its owner transcends time.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Deep within this maze of stone,
a creature wakes up, all alone . . .

As he roams the tomb, lavish murals above his head display scenes of the cat with his young Egyptian queen, creating a story-within-a-story about the events of centuries past. Hidden hieroglyphs deepen the tale and are explained in an informative author’s note.
Mummy Cat is a marvel of sophisticated simplicity, infinitely engaging to examine in detail, and complete with a sweetly surprising plot twist sure to delight young cat lovers and budding Egyptologists alike.
“Terrifically original.” —Publishers Weekly
