I remember reading this in grade school and now I know why I loved it so much!

The Westing Game is a fun mystery complete with a diverse cast of quirky characters, plenty of twists and turns, and a surprise ending. It’s broken into small chunks and easily readable. Thoroughly enjoyable and it was a page-turner for me!

Recommend!

I love this book with all of my heart. This book kickstarted my love for mystery books and I consider this to be Agatha Christie for kids. Or even adults. It's just a good book. I love the puzzle and the mystery and the characters just make me smile. They are all so different and unique and I suspected each and every one of them at some point. Highly recommend this book for anyone that wants a fun and crazy mystery.
