About Ra the Mighty

Ra the Mighty: Cat Detective

by A. B. Greenfield

Illustrated by Sarah Horne

Can a lazy cat and a dung-obsessed beetle crack a mystery?

Ra relishes his role as Pharaoh’s beloved—and outrageously spoiled—cat. The only mystery that interests him is when his next snack will arrive. But when a priceless amulet goes missing from the palace, and a young servant girl is falsely blamed for the theft, Ra’s hardworking scarab-beetle buddy, Khepri, insists that they must save her. Can Ra and Khepri solve the crime? This comically mismatched duo is on the case!
