About This Book

When April and Melanie discover an abandoned storage yard behind an antique shop, they create an elaborate ancient Egypt in it — complete with rituals, hieroglyphics, and an oracle. More children join the game, but real danger begins to shadow their make-believe world. Zilpha Keatley Snyder's beloved Newbery Honor novel celebrates the richness of children's imagination and the way friendship is forged in the space between fantasy and reality.
