"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 . . .
Mummy Cat prowls his pyramid home, longing for his beloved owner. 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
