"The Gypsy Game" is "Egypt Game's" 'sequel,' written several decades after its predecessor. It's a well-written book with a solid plot and I was amazed to see how well Synder recaptured all her characters after such a long leave of absence. I could easily see where the plot was going, but a child definitely would not, and I enjoyed the volume despite its transparency. This is definitely one of the best young readers/young adult books I've read in quite awhile. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

There was not much elaborate game development with the gypsy theme and certainly no attempted assaults on any of the kids. The narrative is mostly about what happens with Toby. The game is more of a backdrop to the story as a focus to draw in the original 'Egypt' gang. The characters are very well done.
Not having read 'The Egypt Game' in more than 20 years, I'd forgotten how superbly Snyder writes from the childrens' perspective. I think that's what makes her novels so effective for her audience ~ it's really authentic.
I dropped 1½ stars because I felt the novel had a very weak ending. And I suspect that an imaginative child who so enjoyed the creation of the game in 'Egypt' will perhaps be disappointed at the lack of game development in 'Gypsy'. ( )
