JACK GANTOS has written many other Rotten Ralph stories as well as the Joey Pigza series. His latest novel is Dead End in Norvelt. He lives in Boston, Massachusetts.
NICOLE RUBEL co–creator of the Rotten Ralph character, has illustrated more than fifty books for children. She lives in Aurora, Oregon.
Sarah is learning about ancient Egypt at school, and when she tries to decide on the perfect class project, her bad cat, Ralph, helps out--with typically disastrous results. Author Jack Gantos narrates comfortably and has the ideal sly intonation for lines like, "Sarah's teacher was impressed. Her school friends were impressed. Of course, Ralph was impressed with himself." Gantos never talks down to his young listeners, and this early-reader book delivers plenty of fun facts about ancient Egyptians. (Ralph discovers that they invented handshakes and pancakes and they revered cats.) Nicole Rubel's funny, colorful illustrations make it a page-turner, and great Egyptian-inspired background music adds to the atmosphere.
