OK, so I missed my April bookclub meeting due to an unfortunate biking accident...but that didn't stop me from getting the new pick for May! The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin is another children's book, but way over my head. It's a mystery filled with puzzles, word games, clues to help the reader find the solution before the characters do. I'm halfway through and enjoying it. That's the great thing about bookclub...it introduces me to books that I wouldn't necessarily choose on my own. I wish I had been familiar with The Westing Game when I taught sixth grade, I think kids that age would love it! Happy reading...

oh my gosh!!! I totally LOVED this book when I was a kid! thanks for reminding me about it... maybe I'll go pick it up and read it again! (just as soon as I'm done reading the other fifty books I've got going on. I need to focus!)
