Read an Excerpt

An Excerpt from The Egypt Game

            All through the month of August, Melanie and April were together almost
            every day. They played the paper-families game and other games, both
            in the Rosses' apartment and in Caroline's. They took Marshall for
            walks and to the park while Mrs. Ross was gone to her class, and almost
            every day they went to the library. It was in the library in August
            that the seeds were planted that grew into the Egypt Game in September
            in the Professor's deserted yard.

            It all started when April found a new book about Egypt, an especially
            interesting one about the life of a young pharaoh. She passed it on
            to Melanie, and with it a lot of interest in all sorts of ancient
            stuff. Melanie was soon as fascinated by the valley of the Nile as
            April had been. Before long, with the help of a sympathetic librarian,
            they had found and read just about everything the library had to offer
            on Egypt--both fact and fiction.

            They read about Egypt in the library during the day, and at home in
            the evening, and in bed late at night when they were supposed to be
            asleep. Then in the mornings while they helped each other with their
            chores they discussed the things they had found out. In a very short
            time they had accumulated all sorts of fascinating facts about tombs
            and temples, pharaohs and pyramids, mummies and monoliths, and dozens
            of other exotic topics. They decided that the Egyptians couldn't have
            been more interesting if they had done it on purpose. Everything,
            from their love of beauty and mystery, to their fascinating habit
            of getting married when they were only eleven years old, made good
            stuff to talk about. By the end of the month, April and Melanie were
            beginning work on their own alphabet of hieroglyphics for writing
            secret messages, and at the library they were beginning to be called
            the Egypt Girls.

    Highly Recommended

    This is a children's book that I highly recommend. Cute story and characters. Mixing up my reading to include Childrens', Teens and "grown up" books is a wonderful thing!

    Bought is as a gift, But read it before I gave it as a gift.

    I'm 30. I bought this book for a 11 year old. I love kids books that can even bring an adult into the story. I hope she enjoyed it as much as I did!

    One of the best books by far

    This was one of those books people judge when looking at the cover, then read it and love it. I am one of those people. The only reason I read the Egypt Game was because at my school by the end of the semester you need a certain amount of "points" for how many books you read, and this was worth seven points. I was planning on taking the AR quiz and adlibbing the answers, but then I got caught up in the land of Egypt. I am in the seventh grade, a year older than the main characters, and loved the mystery and suspense of the novel. It perfectly captures a dreamland that I wish I could see with my very own eyes. As a child growing up, I loved hiding under a blanket and pretending I was in a tent. Egypt is a whole new level and for all those big- dreaming kids out there, get ready because Egypt is coming!!!

    Pretty Good!

    Although I highly doubt 11 year olds would still be playing games like this, I thought it was great. The book was very well written. It captivates you from the very beginning! The book kept me guessing again and again. I was so excited when I heard that there was a sequel, though I heard it wasn't as good. I recommend this to girls ages 9-12. I just have a feeling guys wouldn't be into this book.

    boring........GREAT!!!!!

    When I first picked up this book, I knew something special was inside. When I began the book, I was bored out of my mind! I immediately wanted to finish reading right then and there. But then I remembered the odd feeling I had when I picked up the novel and kept reading. When I reached the last chapters of the book, I realized I had been right! There is a fantastic, thrilling, ending! I recommend this book to a reader like me, who must finish after they start.

    Okay

    This book was okay but was kind of boring and really dumb at times. I did not like some of the characters. But overall it was an okay book. If you have not read it, you should try it.

    GOOD BOOK

    Great book for 7-12 year old's.(That's my opinion not a fact). I loved the book because it a kind a book with suspense,little action but at the same time it's funny. The best thing I liked about it was that it was a creative book and the Egypt game itself was creative too because how they had the gods, the burial, etc. The game itself is like a mini version of Egypt.

    The Egypt Game

    This book is great for anyone who just wants to sit down for a quick good read. If you or a child is intrested in culture or you want a child to inqure about the world that is availabule and around them this is a great book to read. My entire fourth grade class became so fasinated with Egypt after this book was read during circle time we cheekd out all the books from the libary on Egypt, and our teacher decided to do a month unit on Egypt because we were all so enthralled in it. I am now in college and still remember this book and love the story.

    Really great book

    In the fourth grade I was obsessed with anything having to do with ancient Egypt. I found this book in my school's library and loved it. Now it's five years later and I STILL love it, haha. I've always thought it was well-written with a good plot. I'm trying to get my nephew to read it lol.

    Look at the big picture

    This is a wonderful tale about a group of children, that couldn't be more different if they tried, coming together in an imaginary ancient land. If you merely focus on the story line, you miss the beauty of this book. There is great value in diversity, every member of the Egypt Game makes a valuable contribution to the group as a whole, right down to the youngest member at the end of the story. This book provides an excellent opportunity to teach kids to read for the larger message and seek the life lesson in each experience.
