We're here to ruin one of Emily's childhood books, Ellen Raskin's THE WESTING GAME. As it turns out, it's pretty racist, ableist, and glorifies the owner of a company town. Woo hoo?

Summary:
Sixteen "heirs" are tricked into moving to a new housing development on Lake Michigan, overlooking the famous Samuel Westing house. After Samuel Westing dies, the residents of the complex are summoned to Westing's house to hear the reading of the will– where they are all now in competition to be the sole heirs to Westing's $200million fortune.
