CREATORS

Kim Shearer

Kim Shearer has been a public educator for twenty years, serving students as an English teacher and librarian. She was named the 2012 Kentucky Teacher of the Year. She resides in Hebron, KY with her husband, her two daughters, and her two rescue dogs, Elmer and Gordie. She’s also a pretty amazing big sister to her co-writer, Chas! Pangburn.

Chas! Pangburn

Be it as a writer, editor, and/or letterer, Chas! Pangburn puts words in balloons for a variety of publishers across the industry. He’s been fortunate to have known Kim Shearer, his co-writer and big sister, since birth, so the highs and lows of sibling life are second nature to him. Which, speaking of, their mom says it’s now his turn to play on the Nintendo.

Nic Touris

Nic Touris is a dork who likes comics so much that he’s illustrated enough to fill a bookshelf. His art is full of bright colors and silly characters. When he’s not drawing, he plays DnD and cooks fancy food, but not at the same time. Nic is a cat person, but also a dog person.

BUZZ

"Double Booking: The Tail of the Mummy Cat offers a unique opportunity to learn about ancient and modern Egyptian language, culture, and religion. Both fun and informative, readers will enjoy this invitation to see Egypt—and maybe their siblings will, too—through eyes other than their own." -The Children's Book Review

"A fun, illuminating tale with a wonderfully zippy cast." -Kirkus Reviews, "Get It" Verdict

"The perfect family vacation story, complete with mummies, newfound friends, and (eventually) sibling cooperation." - School Library Journal, Starred Review

"The authors' succinct and vivid prose keep the narrative's momentum moving briskly forward, and Touris's art is energetic and wildly expressive, giving life to chase scenes and the climactic conflict with the mummy. More than just a gimmick, the book's novel format will enhance readers' understanding of the siblings' conflict and better appreciate their journey toward mutual understanding." -BookLife Reviews
