Ellen Raskin's Newbery Medal-winning The Westing Game is one of our favorites. This highly inventive mystery involves sixteen people who are invited to the reading of Samuel W. Westing's will. They could become millionaires - it all depends on how they play the tricky and dangerous Westing game, a game involving blizzards, burglaries, and bombings! Ellen Raskin has created a remarkable cast of characters in a puzzle-knotted, word-twisting plot, filled with humor, intrigue, and suspense.

Who's your Turtle Wexler? She's "pure of heart and deed; she only kicked shins in self-defense, so that couldnŠ—Èt count against her."
