Queen of the Tiles by Hanna Alkaf

4.0

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 for this unique murder mystery. Set in the world of competitive Scrabble, it is filled with words, puzzles, and a love of knowledge. A year after her best friend, who had been dubbed “Queen of the Tiles”, mysteriously dropped dead over her board at a competition, Najwa walks back into the very tournament that scarred her. Now, she is determined to win for Trina - and figure out who was involved in her death. Quirky characters and a quick hook will make this a good one for readers who need something after The Inheritance Games. Recommended for grades 7+.
