Rating: 4 stars

Complaints: Too short and too easy.

Comments: Pretty easy and really short (I read in half an hour) but still really good! Judy Blume is an amazing writer - I have read nearly all of her books and I love them all. Freckle Juice is one classic that will not disappoint.

The Westing Game!

  Title: The Westing Game

Author: Ellen Raskin

Summary: Sixteen heirs, all living in Sunset Towers in Westingville, are called together for the reading of Sam Westing's will. He says he has been murdered and one of the sixteen heirs was the murderer. He sends all of them on a clue searching adventure to figure out the mystery. Who is it? Read and find out!!!

Rating: This is a five star rating. If you have played the original board game of clue, you will absolutely love this book. It is packed with suspense and a really awesome page turner! There are some more mature themes though, so I'd recommend it for 12+ or maybe a mature 10 year old.
