Rating 3 out of 5
Genre- realistic fiction
Reviewed by: Keegan Beaverson
Author - Zilpha Keatly Snyder

This book is about a girl named April and 5 other characters. Her mother Dorthea Dawn leaves her with her grandma Caroline. Her mom leaves her for her tour. April meets a girl named Melanie and her brother Marshall and eventually more characters come into the book. They find an abandoned storage yard behind A- Z antiques, curious, and used merchandise. They come up with "The Egypt Game" when they find a statue of Nefertiti. The game starts to become filled with mystery.

This book was okay to me. There were some spots that were exciting, full of mystery, and even scary. This book kept me on the edge of my seat. Sometimes I didn't even want to stop. So pick up this book. Even if it starts out slow you'll love this book. This book will leave you wanting more.
