The Egypt Game Book Review-Brandy

Brandy Ackerman
By Zilpha Keatley Snyder
Realistic Fiction
rating:2 out of 5 stars
Melanie Ross meets April Hall by having lunch at Melanies house, where they find out they love anything to do with Egypt. They find an old, abandoned storage yard behind the A-Z Antique Shop, and Melanie and April play the Egypt Game. There are soon 6 Egyptians,and after school and on weekends they play The game. But then mysterious things start happening to the Egyptians. Will they play the Egypt game ever again? Will things ever be the same?

I think the boook needed more action, which is why I don't like the book. A reason why I did like it is because of the suspence, and the ciff-hanger endings to chapters. In the beginning of the book, Snyder has written "said" a lot:"Melanie said.April said."Grrrrrrrrr.She should add more 'colorful ' words such as murmurred, or retorted. It can be boring, but read it!!!
