The Egypt Game
Overview & Summary
A group of neighborhood kids in a California college town become absorbed in an elaborate imaginative game centered on ancient Egyptian mythology and rituals, staged in a hidden storage yard behind an antiques shop -- until a real, frightening crime in their neighborhood intrudes on their private world of make-believe. Zilpha Keatley Snyder's Newbery Honor novel captures both the richness of childhood imagination and real-world danger encroaching on it.
