When Elizabeth Bird (NYC Librarian Extraordinaire & writer of Fuse #8) did her first Top 100 Chapter Books Poll a few years ago The Egypt Game came in at number 100. Elizabeth did a
fantastic write-up about the book and made me really want to read it. I also searched my library for any
books of Ms. Snyder's that I had and found
The Headless Cupid. I remember this one being in my sister's room when we were growing up. But, I never read it. Zilpha Keatley Snyder has
written over 40 books and I have never read any of them! How does that happen?
I was looking over The Egypt Game a few weeks back and a reader in my library saw me and made sue to tell me what a great book it was. When an 8th grade boy recommend a book to me I need to listen! This is a book I will be reading soon!
Do you have any experience with The Egypt Game or any other books by Ms. Snyder? Tell me about it!
For lack of a better word: cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Now I need to get on it.
DeleteI've read it! It's been way too long though so I'll just point you to my review. I do remember liking it!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! Your review was great and made me want to read it even more!
DeleteI haven't read it, but one of the girls in the book club at the library is a big fan. She's twelve.
ReplyDeleteI know. It sounds like one I would have loved if I had read it back when I was 12. I have to get this one read, no more excuses (except I can't find our copy right now!).
Delete"The Egypt Game" was one of my absolute favorite books when I was a kid. My sister and I even made our own Egypt game after reading it.
ReplyDeleteThis is the kind of thing I want to know! I am going to read it this summer for sure.
