The kids from The Egypt Game are back, taking up right where they left off in the first novel. What game will they play next? The answer is Gypsies. While April plunges in with her usual enthusiasm, Melanie seems to be holding back. But it's Toby who adds a really new wrinkle when he announces that he himself is a bona fide Gypsy. Plus he can get them some of his grandmother's things to use as real Gypsy props for the new game. What could be more thrilling? Then Toby suddenly and mysteriously disappears, and the kids discover that living as real-life Gypsies may not be as much fun as they thought. How will they find Toby and rescue him from the very real problems that are haunting his life?
