I had a friend mention that she was reading all the Newbery Award winners. The Newbery Medal is awarded by the American Library Association (ALA) for the "most distinguished" American children's book published in the preceding year. Since it started in 1921, that's over 100 books to read! She's up to this one, that won the award in 1979. It sounded interesting - a children's book that has a clever mystery tale.
It was a light read with a clever list of clues to solve the mystery. I enjoyed the cast of characters and their interaction as they competed in teams to solve the mystery that would lead to one team winning the estate worth millions of Mr. Westing.
