Publisher Description

From the best-selling author of My Weird School: a new entry in the cheerful and engaging biography series centered on high-interest historic figures.

Did you know that Ruth Bader Ginsburg failed her driving test five times? Or that her real name was Joan? Bet you didn’t know that she liked paddle boarding, white water rafting, and riding elephants! She even had a praying mantis named after her. Siblings Paige and Turner have collected some of the most unusual and surprising facts about one of the most famous Supreme Court Justices in history, from her childhood to her rise as the superstar Notorious R.B.G.

Narrated by the two spirited siblings and animated by Allison Steinfeld’s upbeat illustrations, Ruth Bader Ginsburg Couldn’t Drive? is an authoritative, accessible, and one-of-a-kind biography infused with Dan Gutman’s signature zany sense of humor.

“I have learned so much from this book! I love the format - siblings talking back and forth about RBG. I feel that this would keep kids engaged easily. The facts given are easy to absorb and there's truly so much information in this little book. It was fantastic. Thanks NetGalley for the book!”
“I really enjoyed this one! I've loved RBG ever since I read the picture book biography "I Dissent", and I also read a graphic novel about her by the same author. This new series was set up a bit differently -- as brother-and-sister narrators discussing some of the quirky, lesser known facts of a famous person. Cheesy at times, of course, but fun and informative, even though I felt like I already knew a lot about RBG. I will definitely be checking out the other books in the series. I've read many books in the Who Was? series (which are a little more detailed but a little less fun), and now I'll try to blaze through the ones so far in this series, too. I received my copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.”
