Egypt Game Review

The Egypt Game

Reviewed by: Mariah Houser

Realistic Fiction
4 out of 5


This book is about how two girls find a junkyard behind a mysterious store, owned by a mysterious Professor. Dun... Dun... DUN!! Then they start calling the junkyard Egypt. It gragually grows into 6 players. The original players are named April, Melanie, and Marshall.

A lot of strange and mysterious things start happening to Egypt, and the town. As one Egyptian faces problems with her mother, all the Egyptians are trying to keep Egypt a secret. At the end of some chapters, it just leaves you hanging there, wanting to read what will happen next.

My opinion of the story is that I enjoyed this book, but I have read better books. I enjoyed this book because it has a little bit of mystery, Egyptian ceremony's, and the question " Who did it". I gave it 4 out of 5 because it didn't give a lot of information about some of the characters, such as Melanie and Marshall.
