SUMMARY:Let's Read: "The Westing Game" by Ellen Raskin
DESCRIPTION:A supersharp mystery\, more a puzzle than a novel\, but endowed with a vivid and extensive cast. In the Christie tradition\, Raskin isolates a diverse group of strangers—the mysteriously hand-picked tenants of a new apartment building within sight of the old Westing mansion—and presents them with the information that one of them is the murderer. Actually\, it turns out that there is no corpse\, but no one is aware of that when they are all assembled for a reading of old Westing's fiendish will\, which pairs them all off and allots each pair four one-word clues to the murderer's identity. As the winning pair is to inherit Westing's fortune\, there is much secret conferring\, private investigating\, far-out scheming\, and snitching and scrambling of the teasing\, enigmatic clues. Confoundingly clever\, and very funny. -- Kirkus ReviewsPrefer reading it as an ebook or eaudiobook? Search for it HERE.This program is recommended for grades 3-8.
