If the way Reuben’s scramble to secure a cat for Noah sweeps you from Canaan into the rituals and politics of Egypt delighted you, you’ll click with the whirlwind in The Red Pyramid. Siblings Carter and Sadie Kane unleash Egyptian gods in the present day and have to outwit Set, decode temple lore, and bargain with deities—mixing sacred history, sly jokes, and breakneck set pieces much like that cat‑quest race before the Flood.

Loved how Reuben’s misadventures to procure a cat flirt with danger but stay gloriously witty? In The Story of the Amulet, Cyril, Anthea, Robert, and Jane team up with the irritable Psammead and blunder through time—Egypt included—trading quips while dodging priests, soldiers, and magical mishaps. It has the same bright, mischievous banter that lightens close shaves on the road to the Ark.

If the cat at the center of Reuben’s mission stole your heart, The Cat of Bubastes puts a sacred feline at the very core of its plot. When Amuba and Chebron are forced to flee after a revered temple cat is killed, their flight across Egypt hinges on protecting that secret—offering the same mix of reverence for cats, high stakes, and Nile‑side intrigue that powered the Ark’s most elusive passengers.

Drawn to the clear objective in Reuben’s journey—find that cat or doom the Ark’s plans? In The Thief, the wily Eugenides is dragged on a perilous expedition to steal a legendary artifact for a magus. Treacherous roads, political detours, and sharp verbal sparring echo the focused, ticking‑clock feel of securing Noah’s missing animal before the waters rise.

If you loved how Reuben’s traveling companions evolve from happenstance allies into a true team on the way to the Ark, The Book of Three offers that same warm chemistry. Taran falls in with Eilonwy, Fflewddur Fflam, and Gurgi, and their prickly, funny bond deepens as they face witches, warlords, and wild country—capturing the found‑family glow of a journey where friendship becomes the real prize.
