Hello everybody!
Today I'll be reviewing The Egypt Game written by Zilpha Keatley Snyder.
Who likes history? Raise your hand if you do! Well, Melanie and April of The Egypt Game certainly do!
And that's why they start 'the Egypt Game,' a pretend game where they act like Ancient Egyptians. But it isn't as boring as it seems. As new members enter the club, things get more and more interesting. Everyday, the lonely backyard of the shop that the Egypt Game takes place in grows more and more familiar and more and more like ancient Egypt.
But that all crashes down when a horrific murder happens in their neighborhood. Nobody knows who committed the murder, but the main suspect for the townspeople is the Professor, who owns the shop...that the kids play behind!
Stuck inside and always under a watchful eye, how are the kids supposed to play the Egypt Game?
And who committed the heartless murder that has the entire town shocked?
I really enjoyed plunging into the rich story, world and characters that Zilpha Keatley Snider has weaved and the book is great for re-reads as well. This book has also won the John Newbery Medal.
I really like this book and it is perfect for lovers of history and good books. I recommend this books for ages 9 and above.
