Summary of the Westing Game

Nancy Crotts

This isn't the main book, and it's not meant to take its place. However, Nancy Crotts has calmly and brilliantly produced a SUMMARY that: • Simplifies the author's point and relays it. • Written in plain English that individuals of all literacy levels can understand. • Completely outlines several important ideas that you could have missed. • It is time and money efficient while yet being valuable

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

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
