Sandra Suy.
Vintage-clothing-lover Louise's third time-traveling adventure takes her to the Old Hollywood set of Cleopatra; then, inadvertently, to ancient (and dangerous) Egypt, where the real Cleopatra is her boss. There, Louise sees some spectacular sights and fashions, as demonstrated in Suy's full-page color illustrations. The plot is formulaic and the writing lackluster, but fans will enjoy learning about these two stylish periods. Reading list.
