calistareads 's review for:
The Egypt Game
by Zilpha Keatley Snyder
I loved this as a kid. Zilpha was one of my favorite authors in the 80s. There was John Bellairs, Judy Blume and Zilpha Synder. Back then I couldn't even say her name. Headless Cupid was my favorite book back then. This was another great of hers.
A group of neighborhood children find a building with fun stuff where they come up with a game about Egyptian gods and goddesses. They set up alters and even an oracle. The game gets real when they start getting real answers back. As a kid, I remember this was creepy as hell and I felt so proud to make it through.
I reread it and it was still spooky and charming. I didn't appreciate the diversity growing up with the characters, but Zilpha was rocking back in the 60s. I think I need to read her and John Bellairs. Zilpha did some good stuff and I should read of catalog. Another project.
This is still good mystery, still creepy and still really interesting with all the Egyptian references and history. It's a fun book. I'm glad this got the Newberry.
