4.0 out of 5 stars A little imagination goes a long way, 21 Feb 2006
By Amanda Richards "Hotpurplekoolaid" (ECD, Guyana) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: The Egypt Game (Turtleback)
This book reminds us that back in 1967, children played games that expanded their imaginations and sent them voluntarily to the library to seek information. Computers and the internet now make the information search so much easier, but sadly, many children don't take their eyes away from the television screen, X-Box game or Game Boy long enough to realize what they are missing.

This story tells of a group of six children from different cultures and backgrounds who are drawn together by a common interest in Egyptian mythology. They stumble upon an unused lot of land adjoining the local antique dealer/junk shop where they create their own replica of ancient Egypt, complete with statuary and hieroglyphics and perform the most necessary rites and rituals with due pomp and ceremony.

To make things even more interesting, there are elements of danger and mystery, and the author even manages to include different types of family situations and how the children react to their various circumstances.

A simple book that introduces children to the vast and often untapped worlds of their imagination.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you haven't read this book, read it now!, 5 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Egypt Game (Egypt Game Nrf) (Hardcover)
This book is really brilliant! It has a great plot which is totally different from anything else I've read. It has everything you might want from a story, mystery, suspense, something you can relate to, fun, interesting characters. If you haven't read this book, read it, if you haven't read this author, read her!
