(Atheneum, Aug. 16, 1971)
A young reader's classic, The Egypt Game tells the story of two sixth-graders who bind as friends through enjoyment of reading and playing games of imagination. Soon they develop a common interest in ancient Egypt and begin to reconstruct it in an abandoned storage yard. But complications occur when others join in, a murderer stalks the neighborhood and an oracle predicts very strange things.
