I debated on which book I should start with; after all, this is my very first post. It turns out that I have too many favorites and I realized that if I didn't start posting then this blog would remain blank for another year. So, without further ado, I will introduce you to a book that has been a favorite since Mrs. Clawson, my 6th grade teacher, read it aloud in class.
The Westing Game by Ellen Raskins
Truthfully, it's been a year or so since I read it, and although I may not remember all of the details clearly, I do remember the humor and mystery. I also remember discussing the book over lunch with my classmates. We were dying to figure out the ending and hated when Mrs. Clawson didn't have time to read more than a few pages. If you haven't read this book already, pick up a copy soon - you'll love it! But don't take my word for it ;)
