Description
A Newbery Medal Winner
"A supersharp mystery...confoundingly clever, and very funny." -Booklist, starred review
A bizarre chain of events begins when sixteen unlikely people gather for the reading of Samuel W. Westing's will. And though no one knows why the eccentric, game-loving millionaire has chosen a virtual stranger-and a possible murderer-to inherit his vast fortune, on things for sure: Sam Westing may be dead…but that won't stop him from playing one last game! Winner of the Newbery Medal Winner of the Boston Globe/Horn Book Award An ALA Notable Book
"Great fun for those who enjoy illusion, word play, or sleight of hand." -The New York Times Book Review "A fascinating medley of word games, disguises, multiple aliases, and subterfuges-a demanding but rewarding book." -The Horn Book
