Whenever you are in a PDF document, you can search inside the PDF by pressing "Ctrl" and "F" at the same time. That brings up a search bar that you can type a word or group of words into.
Using that technique, you'll be able to find two quotes in the book containing the word elaborate. Elaborate can be either an adjective or a verb. Both times the word is used in The Egypt Game, it's used as an adjective. The adjective form of this word means "detailed or complicated; requiring careful planning." Here are the two quotes.
From chapter 4: "With elaborate caution they made their way out of the back door of the Casa Rosada and down the alley." In this sentence, the children pretend they're being followed, so they act with exaggerated secrecy.
From chapter 17: "April bowed low before him and started in on an elaborate ceremony, using some of the old things they’d done before and some new ones she’d just thought up." Here April performs a detailed and complicated series of actions that she creates as part of the game.
In both sentences, you could replace the word elaborate with complicated as a suitable synonym.
