The Westing Game
Ellen Raskin
The Westing Game is a book for older children that deservedly won the Newberry prize in the late 1970's. Paper magnate Samuel Westing leaves a very curious will.
Sixteen potential heirs are paired into eight groups and each pair is given a set of clues. The first to find the cause of Westing's demise wins the game.
This book was a hoot. The characters were colorful and funny, the game was fun and the plot was surprisingly imaginative. This was a very cute book altogether.
