In this book 2 girls and 1 boy decided to create a game.
The Egypt
Game, Where
it all takes
place!
Their names were April, Melanie, and Marshall.It was called
the Egypt Game. They played there almost every day. A new
girl moved in downstairs her name was Elizabeth. They
started talking to her and decided that they would let her in on
the Egypt Game. They played and had a blast. When
suddenly a girl in a nearby neighborhood was killed! That
put an end to the Egypt Game for a while. Halloween was
coming and nobody was allowed outside, looked like they
would not be trick-or-treating. Lucky for them some dads said
they would take a group trick-or-treating. During
trick-or-treating they Egypt Gang decided they would make
their escape to Egypt.They were playing in Egypt when 2
people invaded. It turned out they were boys that were in
April and Melanie's class. The only way they wouldn’t tattle
tail on them was if they let them in on the Egypt Game. They
Gang had to say yes. It turned out they weren’t so bad. When
they started asking the oracle questions someone started
mysteriously answering. Most devastating of all Marshall’s
most sacred thing ever his stuffed octopus went missing.
Luckily they found him. April had to baby-sit marshall and
she realized she left her math books in Egypt. So Marshall and
April got up and went to Egypt late at night. When they got
there April grabbed her book and left. As she was crawling
out the fence somebody grabbed her! Marshall was so
horrified he couldn’t say anything or do anything. Someone
screamed help. Who was it? Who had grabbed april!?! IT’S
A MYSTERY!
Where it all
started
Setting: ​
behind the A-Z antiques
The area behind the A-Z antique store is a
place where April, Melanie, Marshall,
Elizabeth, Toby, and Ken could play a fun
game of Egypt's past. They worshiped gods,
sacrifice, mummify, and ect. On the way
there you have to pass through an alley
that's kind of spooky. Egypt is a game full of
mystery, excitement, and always keeps you
hooked.

Behind the A­Z store, the mysterious land of the gods! Stars! Why was this BOOK SO
GREAT?
We would rate it a 5 out of 5 stars. This book was
Amazing. We could picture what was happening in
our heads. It was a thriller. We like the parts were
they were in egypt. We disliked the parts were they
were in school and at home. You would never want to
put the book down. It was action packed and cool. It
was definitely a page-turner. When you put the book
down, you would really want to read it the next day.
This book got boring once, but other than that it was a
really fantastic read. I recommend this book to 4th
and 5th graders because it was kind of confusing at
parts, and children of lower grades wouldn’t
understand. We liked the creepy parts. But we didn't
like when it got boring and they started talking about
themselves.
The one and only April
Hall!
The leader and creator of the Egypt game
is April Hall. She moved into the Casa
Rosada and made friends with a girl
named Melanie Ross. She started the
Egypt game and soon others joined. She is This is the one and only April Hall confident, but different than the rest. She
dresses like a movie star and wears fake Almighty leader of the Egypt Game eyelashes. Even though she’s twelve. April
goes to school like every other kid. After
she and Melanie go to Egypt where they
play the Egypt game. April and Melanie
used their wits and smarts to create Egypt
out of scraps and pieces of junk that they
found. April’s funny and an interesting
person. She has a creative imagination and
can turn anything into a fun game.
She is the star of the show! There is no
better character than the great​

No story is complete without a bad
guy.This is the Bad Guy of The Egypt
Game…
The Murderer! This guy is a real meanie. He murdered a 10 year old
girl at a dock near a Drug Store! His identity will not be revealed. He
is a psychopath. He somehow manages not to get caught for at least a
few years ( this guy is good). Find out who it is while reading the
Egypt Game! Be careful! Dun….
Dun…...Daaaaaaaa………….!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man in jail Introducing the
Co-Stars…
Melanie, Elizabeth, Marshall,Ken, Toby, and
Caroline! Melanie is April’s best friend. She is a
kind and nice person to everyone. Elizabeth is a
new girl that is a goody two shoes that never
wants to get in trouble. Marshall is a little boy who
doesn’t talk much. Even though when he does,
everything comes out perfect. Ken is a boy in April
and Melanie’s grade that is popular and not very
convincing. Toby is a boy that is full of ideas to
make the Egypt game exciting, he is enthusiastic.
Caroline is April’s grandmother who doesn’t really
act like she loves april in the beginning, but
towards the end she remindes you of a loving
grandmother. The story would not be the same
without them! They give the story a lot more
excitement! These characters are April’s best
friends they help calm her down when she’s mad
and they make her happy! They are what ties the
story together. Without them the story wouldn't be
possible. The antagonist in this story is the
murderer because he is the one who makes them
stop playing for a long time! (Top Left) Melanie.​
