When April moves to a new town to live with her grandmother, she feels lonely and out of place. She teams up with Melanie, a neighbor girl, and they discover a shared fascination with ancient Egypt. Together, they create 'The Egypt Game'—an elaborate imaginary world in the storage yard of an antique shop, complete with rituals, hieroglyphs, and secret ceremonies. Their game becomes even more thrilling—and a little scary—when a mysterious boy joins them and a real-life neighborhood mystery unfolds.
