Summary: "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."--
