When Melanie Ross meets the new girl in the neighborhood, April Hall, she's not sure they will have anything in common. After all April seems a bit odd, starting with her huge fake eyelashes. But the girls soon discover they share a love of ancient Egypt and can almost read each other's minds as they create an elaborate space and imaginative story line devoted to several Egyptian gods. Add a mysterious professor, a couple boys, and an oracle; this book builds to a suspenseful climax.
