Our next book is The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin. We'll be meeting on Thursday, October 3rd at 7:30pm at Jodi's house.
The Westing Game is a wonderful, clever, and engaging book. It’s a murder mystery, a puzzle, and a treasure hunt, all in one, centered around a unique cast of characters. Mr. Westing is found dead in his mansion, and in order to win his fortune, sixteen would-be heirs must compete to win the Westing Game. Full of complexity and suspense, the plot lays all the clues before the reader but still manages to keep the solution secret until the very end. A well-written, twisty puzzle of a mystery, filled with fantastic clues, unforgettable characters, and countless red herrings.
