Sarah writes the following about The Westing Game :
It all started when certain people were sent a letter to live in the deserted Sunset Towers, by the mansion of Samuel Westing. These people included The Wexler Family, Flora Baumbach, the Theorakis family, Synelle Pulaski, the Hoo family, and J.J Ford. There was also Sandy who was the doorman and Otis Amber who was the messenger boy of the Sunset Towers. On Halloween, the people in there town had some shocking news, Samuel Westing was found dead! The residents and workers of the Sunset Towers were invited to the funeral. There was also one new face no one had seen before, her name was Crow. During the funeral everyone learned that they were all related to Sam Westing in some way. Sam Westing, in he?s will, says some one murdered him in this room. They all have to play the Westing Game to find out who it was. He paired them all up and gave them each a pair of clues. Was Samuel Westing really murdered??? Read the Westing Game to find out.

The Westing Game was an awesome book. I liked how Sam Westing played four people. After all they said he was a master of disguise! They include Sandy McSouthers, Samuel Westing, Barney Northup, and Julian R. Eastman. But I didn?t like when Sandy (one of the people Samuel Westing played) died or play died. I mean I questioned how he did that. I thought it was cool how Turtle figured out the fourth person he played. I liked how she would visit Julian R. Eastman, known as Sam, often. But I didn?t like how he died in Turtles arms. That was really sad.
