Suspense/Mystery


The Westing Game is a suspenseful "murder" mystery, that will keep the kids on their toes! If they want a challenging read, this is the one for them! There are quite a few characters in this book, and they may have to keep notes to keep them all straight. :) I haven't read a mystery in quite a while, and I'm glad I read this book. It was a cute, fun book, with many puns and plays on words. The best part, I thought, was Turtle, one of the main characters who is a thirteen year old girl. Your child won't want to stop reading until they get to the very end...to see how the mystery is solved.
