In this book six kids find a storage yard, but to them it wasn't just a storage yard it was Ancient Egypt; a place to get away and just pretend. April and Melanie had one thing in common: they liked to learn about Ancient Egypt. Soon the Egyptian group grew to six not just two. After school and on weekends, the Egyptians would meet in "Egypt." Soon strange things started happening in Egypt. The Egyptians wonder if they should quit the Egypt Game or not.

This book sometimes bored me, and other times kept me waiting to read more, for example I liked the part when Zilpha Snyder wrote about the murder. Over all it was a fairly good book; although some spots didn't hold my attention, like when the author wrote about Trick-or-Treating, it seemed to drag on forever.
