The Egypt Game is by Zilpha Keatley Snyder. April is a snooty only child whose mother rarely pays attention to her. Her mother leaves her with her grandmother where she meets Melanie who is friendly and likes everyone. They become friends and make up incredible stories and play wild games - one of which is the Egypt game. They play in an abandoned lot where they find a bust of Nefertiti. Soon other kids join in the game. Then strange things begin happening and they are afraid there is a murderer in the neighborhood whose victims are children. A wonderful story!
Ratings: 6th grade - 9 out of 10.
