Stephs Egypt Game review

Realistic fiction
Title: The Egypt game
Author: Zilpha Keatly Snyder
Reviewed by: Stephanie Low

Dear Mr. A's class

The Egypt Game all begins when April Hall's mother, Dorothea, sends April to her grandmother Carolines house. When Melanie meets April she thinks they will have nothing in common, but she soon finds out that they both love anything to do with ancient Egypt. Then they find a deserted storage yard, belonging to the professor and decide it is perfect for The Egypt Game. Then a horrible problem strikes. Will they ever see Egypt again? Then more weird things go on with the Egypt Game. Has the game gone to far?

I really liked this The Egypt Game. I always wanted to read more. There was much suspense and humor used. It was one of the best books I have read.

Zilpha Keatly Snyder did a great job writing this book. She made the characters seem as if they were alive and made it seem as if you were there. The six members to the Egypt Game are April, Melanie, Toby, Ken, Elizabeth and Marshall. They are all very unique.

I would rate this book a five out of five. It was a great book and I loved reading it!
