The children in this neighborhood like to get together to play the "Egypt Game." They pretend they are back in the days of the pharaohs, and everyone has a part. Interesting to see where they choose to play their innocent game, and to ask the question, can they be safe here when a child has been murdered? The sequel to this book is The Gypsy Game.
