Synopsis
Sam Westing is dead...killed by one of his 16 heirs, all of whom are residents of the Sunset Towers apartment building. Following the instructions laid out in Westing's will, the 16 heirs are split into eight teams of two. Each team is then given four mysterious clues that they must use to discover who among them is Westing's killer. The winning team will inherit Westing's entire fortune--$200 million. Tensions rise as the heirs compete against each other, especially when it seems that in addition to a killer, the apartment building is also home to a thief and a mad bomber. Clever readers can also play the Westing Game--and they might win, as only they will have access to the clues held by all 16 of the Westing heirs. Winner of the 1979 Newbery Medal.

) I bought this book for a friend. I have read it about 15 times. I am a retired school teacher and I would read books to my students. I taught sixth grade. This was always their favorite. Every time I would read it I would find something new that I didn't get the prvious time. It is a mystery and it's funny. I also liked it because the main character is a teenage girl. That is unique. I feel any adult can read this book as well and totally enjoy it. The author is a very clever writer.
Great book!!

) Both my daughters loved this book when they were younger, it was exciting enough to keep their attention, but definitely age appropriate!! Great read, glad to have found it again.
Great for young readers and adults alike!

I used this book for a literature circle project in a 6th grade class. I had never read it but it came highly recommended. Wow! What an amazing book. It has a mystery reminiscent of Agatha Christie. There is a huge cast of characters and the plot twists and turns. I had a hard time putting it down and my students loved it. It is a little complicated, but a great read.

Daughter was reading it in class for an assignment one chapter a week. She likedit so much she had me buy it for her to have at home so she could read ahead. Been reading it every night since we got it from eBay.
