The Gypsy Game by Zilpha Keatley Snyder

4.0

I seldom say this, but in this case, the sequel is better, dare I say much better than the first. The Egypt Game was missing something for me, but that is not the case with The Gypsy Game. The meaningful themes missing in the first are much more evident in this book: poverty, homelessness, loss, and learning from the past. I will be honest and say I struggled a bit to read "gypsy" over and over again in the text, but after you get past the term, there is a meaningful tale honoring the culture and past of the Roma people. Worthwhile!
