a good book

The author of this book is Zilpha Keatley Snyder who is also the author of The Gypsy Game, The Unseen, and many others. The title of this book is The Egypt Game. Zilpha Keatley Snyder got her ideas from her made up Egypt Game when she was in the fifth grade, when she was teaching in Berkeley, California, and also her daughter's good ideas. The six main characters came from people who were in her class one year. This story type is fiction.
In this book a new girl named April Hall comes to live on Orchard Avenue in a California-Spanish apartment with her grandmother Caroline from Hollywood. A few days after she moves in she meets Melanie and Marshall Ross. April and Melanie are both so interested in Egypt that they checked out books on it, learned every possible thing about Egypt, and soon started the Egypt Game in the backyard of someone's store near an alley. They soon meet a new girl named Elizabeth who had just moved to the Casa Rosada, the California-Spanish apartment. They told her all about the Egypt Game and let her join. Soon after, someone murdered a child and was never caught. Children were not allowed to go outside and play for a while. Melanie, April, and Elizabeth let two boys in the game reluctantly. The reason they had to let them join was if they did not then the boys might have told the secret of the Egypt Game. All six of them made an oracle, which is something that answers questions asked by the community, and on the last question asked, someone not in the game answered the question. The last few questions were answered by someone in the game, but not this time. One day April forgot her math book and went back to 'Egypt' to get it with Marshall. When she was leaving, someone came up behind her out of the alley and choked her. Marshall saw someone in the store, the backyard of which they play the Egypt Game. That person in the store broke a glass window and yelled, "Help!"
My impression of this book is that it is a very good book. It was not the best book and at the same time not the worst book. This book would probably be a good book for a very adventurous person. This book would also probably be a good book for a person who loves mystery and suspense. On a scale from one to ten I would rate this as a six, which is good.
