        <description><![CDATA[Although Melanie, and especially April, are a little resentful at first at having to share the secret of the Egypt Game with Elizabeth, who has just moved into the neighborhood, they quickly discover that the little fourth-grader is a delightful child and a welcome addition to the group.  For one thing, Elizabeth is quiet and unassuming, and completely appreciative of everything the older girls do.  Her "pretty tilted eyes (become) wide with...]]></description>

As time goes on, she starts at her new school with Melanie and eventually they befriend Elizabeth when she moves into the apartment building. They even accept the two older boys into their group. Then, during Halloween, the children use the group trick or treating as an excuse...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Marshall wouldn't tell the police what he saw because he didn't want to tell a secret if April didn't want him to. He is so used to playing the Egypt Game and not being allowed to say anything, that he isn't sure if he is allowed to tell the police about the man that he saw or not. April tells the police, "I think he just wants to be sure he isn't telling a secret. Marshall never tells secrets" (pg. 188). Marshall is very mature for his age...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Zilpha Keatley Snyder, the author of The Egypt Game, has some beautiful similes in her book. Similes are the comparison of two unlike things using the words "like" or "as." A few similes from the book are as follows:
"It was almost as if the old man's deadly silence was a black hole that had to be filled up quickly with lots of words" (pg 21).
"There she was, waiting for them in the shed, Nefertiti, the beautiful queen of ancient Egypt, like a...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The Casa Rosada is a shabby, Spanish-style apartment building where April, Melanie, Marshall, and Elizabeth live. It is 3 stories tall with roomy two-bedroom apartments, iron balconies, and an old fashioned elevator. It was built in the 1920s and the book takes place in the 1960s, so the apartment building is about 40 years old and has run down a bit. It is described as "very Spanishy-looking with great thick walls, arched doorways, fancy iron...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[April is a very unhappy, angry little girl at the beginning of the story.  She has been sent by "her beautiful and glamorous mother, to live with a grandmother she hardly knew".  April's mother is a vocalist in a band, and she has promised that April can come home when she has finished touring.  Even though she "is used to taking care of herself", April is righteously indignant and bitter that her mother has sent her away (Chapter 2). ...]]></description>
