Books by Blei: "Newbery Award" - The Westing Game

The Westing Game
by Ellen Raskin
(1979 Newbery Medal)

Recommended by: Bethany B.
The Westing Game starts out with seven families, a doorman, and a maid. There was a dressmaker, a secretary, an inventor, a doctor, a judge, a bookie, a burglar, a bomber and a mistake. The people that lived there were Baumbach, Theodorakis, Pulaski, Wexler, Hoo, Ford, Crow and Sandy. my favorite part was when the bombs went off. I think this book is a mystery because the people who are living at the Sunset Towers have to find out who killed Mr. Westing. They were given clues to find out who killed Mr. Westing. If one person finds at who killed him they get all of his cash.

This book was: Boring at firs but gets better.

I would recommend this book to:  People who like mystery books.

I rate this book:
