I also read The Egypt Game, by Zilpha Keatley Snyder. I would give it a five star rating. I absolutely loved it! It has so much adventure, and the kids in it use so much imagination. And it has boys and girls in it, and I think that says so much. Not only does it say that both boys and girls can have good imaginations, but it also says that any age kids can play imaginary games. Marshall is four. Elizabeth is nine. And Melanie, April, Toby, and Ken are eleven. The Egypt Game has imagination, adventure, and creativity. I think it is great for people who love imaginary games. People like me.
This was one of my favorite books when I was a kid. I read it again and again, always checking it out from the library, and finally I ended up buying it. You should try her other books. Have you read The Headless Cupid? It's the first one in a series she wrote about the Stanley family kids. I loved those, too.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read Headless Cupid, but i think i will. Have you ever read The Gypsy Game? I haven't but i am trying to find it.
ReplyDeleteI read >The Gypsy Game as an adult, and while I liked it, it didn't hold up to my memories of The Egypt Game. I'll be curious to hear what you think of it.
ReplyDeleteSo you did like The Gypsy game, or you didn't?
ReplyDeleteI liked it, but not as much as The Egypt Game.
ReplyDeleteOkay. I will try to check it out from the library and read it. Then I will tell you what I think. Well... I'll review it.
