The Westing Game

I think we had this discussion a while back in a favorite books you read as a kid thread.

We read this book for class in 5th or 6th grade. I loved it. I haven't read it in many, many years.

I’d not read The Westing Game in about twenty years, but last summer I picked it up at the library on a whim (there was a display of children’s books near the check-out) and was thrilled to find it lived up to my memory. My roommate at the time (who’s the same age as I) never read it back in school, but she picked it up when I was done and was completely enthralled. Great book.

YankeesFan, I’ve not seen it, but I think there actually was a movie version a few years back.

Oh wow. I haven't read The Westing Game for a couple years. Yeah. We read it in like, 3rd grade. Good book.

I loved this book- I remember we read it in like 4th/5th grade, and then we learned how to play the stock market after reading it.

fyi, I believe that the movie was originally actually called "The Westing Game" when it originally aired on Showtime, but then they changed it to "Get a Clue" for the video release of it? I could be wrong about that, though.
