I really enjoy this book. The blend of science (underwater archaeology) and fantasy (Atlantis) is extremely well done. It's an easy story to read, but improves each time it's revisited. If you've got children (especially boys), who resist reading, this book could well change their opinion.

Anyone who is interested in Ancient Egypt should definitly read this book. I think that was Ms. Ellerby's theory of how Egypt got to be such an advanced civilization. The book is about two kids who make an amazing discovery by looking very closly at a game piece in a museum.Everybody in my family has read it and loved it. If you don't get something it explains it at the end of hte book.

My mother is the author of this book. She has written a sequel, "Merlin's Legacy", which we are working on getting published. If you liked this book, please add your review.

We have obtained the rights to King Tut's Gameboard and are having 300 more copies printed.

When I was in 2nd grade, this was my absolute favorite book, I must have taken the copy out of the library about 1,000 times. It is a fantasy novel for kids, not a historical treatise on dynastic Egypt, so anyone claiming that it is absolutely historically accurate in a meaningful way is misguided, *BUT* it is such a wonderful book all the same. :) And if you can only read books that are *real* then the world loses a little of it's magic.

I just found a used copy for my 2nd grade daughter, and am THRILLED that I can share this with her, and look forward to re-reading it myself for the first time in 20+ years! :)
