Summary: The Egypt Game
Review: April is quite different from Melanie in this novel. April had just moved into a shabby old California Spanish apartment to live with her grandmother, Caroline, while her mother, Dorthea, was on tour with her travel agent, Nick. She could not stay at home because her father was no longer around to look after her. He had died when April was a little girl. As for Melanie she had lived with her mother and father in the same building all her life. She even had a little four-year old brother named Marshall. April is the only child in her family. At first when the two girls met they weren't interested with each other but gradually became friends over time. Soon after the Egypy Game stared with all kind of adventures and stories to tell. New Members enter the land of Egypt but little do the children no is that they are being watched! Only one small boy knows and decides not to tell.

Summary: Wonderful and unique story.
Review: ... I must admit though when I first heard of it I thought it was going to be a fiction book, but clearly it wasnt't. I do also think the first chapter is sort of boring but trust me it gets better.The story is about this small group of kids, all very different,with one thing in common. They all like Egyptian things. So they form the Egypt Game. They have to play in the back of and old shopkeepers store so their parents don't find out. This means they have to hide the game from the parents and the shopkeeper. Simple, boring plot, right? But author has a unique way of turning this non fictional story into something exciting and interesting. It makes you feel like your right there with the kids playing along. The book is one of those kind that once you start reading you don't want to stop and never want it to end. I would recommend this book to everyone

Review: I never wrote a review before but when I read some of these reviews saying The Egypt Game was a dull and boring book I just had to say something because I think it is one of my favorites.
I'm 14 but I first read the book when I was 12 and I've read it, along with it's sequal The Gypsy Game, numerous times since then.

Summary: The Egypt Game
Review: The Egypt Game was, to say the least, a unique book. The author seemed to have a totally different perspective of what went on in the lives of little children. I myself am only 14, so I think I would understand these things a little better than that.
The story has a very weak plot, and didn't seem to be getting anywhere, it just dragged on and on not getting anywhere. Strangely enough, as I kept on reading I seemed to be getting myself caught up inside of the imaginations of these little kids.
In the end, the book had an exceptional ending, and I was very pleased with the happy ending. I would not recommend this book for those craving action and adventure.

Review: A mysterious game soon turns scary after 6 kids
pretending to be Egyptians find out there was a
murderer lurking around. Will they find him in time?
The book started out boring but it got better towards the end.
I wouldn't recommend this book. It doesn't say much about Egypt.

Review: I found THE EGYPT GAME kinda dragged on. It seemed really long, and didn't have that many high points to the story. But it was overall a okay book. The murder spooked me a bit, but it all really seemed not that interesting. Throughout the whole book I found myself falling asleep. I would read it again if I had to, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Review: I gave the Egypt Game 2 stars because it was a pretty good book but it got of to a really slow start. At first you were really lost, but finally you really get into it. And when they started getting into the game, it got better. I admit the murderer in the town did freak me out a little, especially at night, that was a good part. I would recommend this book, but I don't think that I personally would read it.

Summary: Great Book
Review: Dont miss this story. It is a wonderful way to relax. To be able to sit down and read a book with no worrys on your mind. This book makes you forget about everything else that is happening and just relax. Even though I had to read this book for school i enjoyed it the whole time. How they had thier own mysteries to solve after doing homework and play the egyp game of course. Well what i am trying to say is that you should read this book because it is great reading for all ages young and small. So give the Egypt game a try it wont hurt to pick it up. But im telling you know it is going to be hard to put down.
