For over twenty-five years, Ellen Raskin's Newbery Medal-winning The Westing Game has been an enduring favorite. It has sold over one and a half million copies. This highly inventive mystery involves sixteen people who are invited to the reading of Samuel W. Westing's will. They could become millionaires-it all depends on how they play the tricky and dangerous Westing game, a game involving blizzards, burglaries, and bombings! Ellen Raskin has created a remarkable cast of characters in a puzzle-knotted, word-twisting plot filled with humor, intrigue, and suspense.

    This is my all-time favorite book for children. It has the potential to be very confusing, however, as there are 16 main characters. I have always found that reading this book with a reading group, where we can discuss it as we go along, has been very successful. I have read this book with children as young as 4th grade and feel that, through our discussions, they have come out with a good understanding of the book. It is a classic mystery which will keep them (and you!) guessing until the end. No matter how many times I read it I just love it more and more.
