A great paean to children's powers of imagination and obsession, but the understory about child abduction and murder is a bit too scary, strange, and grotesque for my tastes. The author has an ability to make the reader feel like they are playing the Egypt game themselves; participating in somber ceremonies in a dirt alleyway and creating Egyptian costumes from plastic jugs is as much fun for us as it is for the book's protagonists!

Awesome story about imaginative kids inventing a game. A bit scary. Rl 6.6, ages 10 & up (though I read it when I was younger.)
