The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin is about Samuel W. Westing who just died and his will is being read and he chooses 16 completely random people to inherit everything he ever owned. The heirs have had to find out who killed Sam Westing.
The theme of The Westing House is appearances people all have disguises. In The Westing Game a lot of the characters seem to be one way but thats not who they are. The Westing Game's conflict is that someone killed Sam Westing and one of the heirs could be the killer.
This is a good start, but again, it just scratches the surface. I want to read more of your thoughts! Also, what TYPE of conflict is this? Do you like the book so far? Why or why not?
