NEWBERY MEDALWINNER . Ellen Raskin'sunforgettable, timeless classic continues to be cherished by young readers of each new generation.

""Great fun for those who enjoy illusion, word play, or sleight of hand.""-The New York Times Book Review

A highly inventive mystery begins when sixteen unlikely people gather for the reading of the very strange will of the very rich Samuel W. Westing. They could become millionaires, depending on how they play a game. All they have to do is find the answer-but the answer to what? The Westing game is tricky and dangerous, but the heirs play on-through blizzards, burglaries, and bombings. Sam Westing may be dead ... but that won't stop him from playing one last game!

Ellen Raskin has created a remarkable cast of characters in a puzzle-knotted, word-twisting plot filled with humor, intrigue, and suspense.
