 Egyptians, Hieroglyphics, Ancient Egypt. November 6, 1999
15 out of 15 found this review helpful
They call themselves the Egypt gang. They have their own meeting place. They worship gods. They have their own hierolyphics, etc. Marshall, Toby, Ken, Melanie, Elizabeth, and April are all part of it. They have so much fun until something happens. Read and find out. Good for people who like ancient history. Great book for everyone!

I read this book when I was in the fourth grade. (My best friend and I were reading through the shelf of award winners.) She read it next. As soon as she finished the book, we set up our own game, a cross between the Egypt Game and what we'd understood from her older sister's class production of Macbeth. We had hours of fun playing that way, and I loved having a book that showed characters who played imaginatively. (And there aren't that many role models who don't spend all their time on their computers or on the organized sports field these days. See the preceding review from the person who said that she didn't like the way the characters used too much "ammagination." I ordered this book recently to read aloud to my third graders, and they loved it! Now there are several Games going on in our neighborhood. The book was as good as I remembered it.

I think this was a great book! I'm 13 years old and I just finished reading this book on January 3, 2001. I thouroughly enjoyed this story. The author is truly gifted, and the way she words everything just makes the story come alive. I especially liked the way Zilpha Keatley Snyder described the characters and their personalities. It made me feel that I was right there, in that shed, watching the kids play the Egypt Game. The story couldn't be more realistic if I were in it. Her details are amazing, and I must say, this is now my favorite book. I hope to read more of Ms. Snyder's work in the future, starting with The Gypsy Game.

We, the 7th graders at Saluda School, have just finished reading this exciting, blood-pumping novel. This book was so exiting, we could hardly put it down. In fact, we didn't even want to go to our next class. Please take our word for it, and read this book. You won't regret it.

I reccomend this book to anyone who has a little imagination. It seem a little young actually for a 12 year old...but I still read it and absolutally loved it. I am on my way through the sequal the Gypsy Game. The only party that I was dissapointed with was the pictures...they were not drawn well and spoiled the imagination part. All the Characters of the egypt game are characterized, original, and wonderful. Please read this book.
