The first time Melanie Ross meets April Hall, she’s not sure they have anything in common. But she soon discovers that they both love anything to do with ancient Egypt. When they stumble upon a deserted storage yard, Melanie and April decide it’s the perfect spot for the Egypt Game.

Before long there are six Egyptians, and they all meet to wear costumes, hold ceremonies, and work on their secret code. Everyone thinks it’s just a game until strange things start happening. Has the Egypt Game gone too far?

We used to read this book so much as kids, we’d play imagination games similar to this so it was like reading about ourselves. I loved hearing it brought back to life in an audiobook.

My 6th grader was assigned this for a book report and I enjoyed going along for the ride very much. I love reading books she reads for school so we can talk about them, especially if I haven't read it myself or it's been years. I thought the book had good layers and discussion topics. I knew of the book from seeing it on shelves over the years, but didn't know anything about it other than that. Going in without preconceived notions helped me pay attention and try to enjoy the storytelling as it unfolded and make some guesses about a few things along the way. It has some 'not always easy to talk about' subjects and I think that is why I enjoyed it so much because they were done well. Though some references are dated after so many years, it was still relatable and made for a lot of great conversations with my kid that I hope continue as she has to finish her report.

Surprised I'd never read it before
