The Westing Game

By Ellen Raskin

Blurb by Youngjin K.

Sam Westing’s life got taken, but by who? There are 16 mysteriously chosen heirs of Sam Westing’s will, but one of the heirs took Westing’s life and the only way to find out is to play the Westing game. If they win they get 2 million dollars. This book takes place near Lake Michigan, Wisconsin. I liked the story because it has lots of twists and the conclusion only appears in the end. I did not like the story because it had lots of stock prices and it got very confusing because stock prices do not help with the conclusion.

I would recommend this to a friend because it has lots of twists to keep you reading until the end. My favorite character is Turtle, because she finds the solution to the Westing game and she becomes a friend of Sandy McSouthers, who becomes an important character in the end. I don’t know who would be the real main character because all of the heirs of the Westing will get noted in the book pretty often and it does not have the book focused on one person.
