The Egypt Game is written in a clear, easy-to-understand way that is perfect for beginning readers who are new to chapter books. The book does deal with some tough subjects (you know, the whole murder thing), but for the most part, it's a delightful foray into the imaginative lives of children. There's also plenty of facts about ancient Egypt that should appeal to young history buffs.
