Dust Jacket Condition: dj. First Edition. First edition of Ellen Raskin's dizzying comic mystery, winner of the Newbery Medal for 1979. Samuel Westing, a reclusive millionaire, leaves an unconventional will, drawing an apparently random group of neighbors into a search for his own killer. "Who were these people, these specially selected tenants? They were mothers and fathers and children. A dressmaker, a secretary, an inventor, a doctor, a judge. And, oh yes, one was a bookie, one was a burglar, one was a bomber, and one was a mistake." In 2025, forty years after Raskin's death, her estate revealed the existence of an unfinished sequel to The Westing Game, which is expected to appear in time for the novel's fiftieth anniversary in 2028. A very nearly fine copy, in the iconic dust jacket designed by Raskin herself. Single volume, measuring 9 x 6 inches: [6], 185, [1]. Original red cloth spine lettered in black, orange paper boards, red endpapers, original unclipped color pictorial dust jacket, with no Newbery medal affixed. Pinpoint spotting to edges of text block.

First edition, second printing of Raskins's Newbery Award winning novel. Octavo, original cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the half-title page, "For Barbara Nelson Boom! Ellen Raskin 6.25.79." Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Jacket design by Ellen Raskin. Scarcely seen signed and inscribed. In Raskin's Newbery Award-winning mystery The Westing Game, wealthy industrialist Sam Westing dies and, in his will, calls for his sixteen heirs to meet at his mansion where he sets out a game in which they are paired out with a set of clues and $10,000 with which they are challenged to determine who killed Westing and why. The book went on to win the Newbery Medal, the Boston Globe/Horn Book Award and was an ALA Notable Book. It was ranked number nine among all-time children's novels in a survey published by School Library Journal in 2012. It has been adapted as the 1997 feature film Get a Clue.

[JUVENILE MYSTERY]. First edition. John Newbery Medal winner. Fine in a fine bright dust jacket with John Newbery medal affixed to the front cover. A cleverly devised puzzle mystery. Sixteen people were invited to the reading of a very strange will of the very rich Samuel W. Westing. They could become millionaires, depending on how they played the game. The not-quite-perfect heirs were paired, and each pair was given $10,000 and a set of clues, of which no two sets of clues were alike. All they had to do was find the answer, but the answer to what? The Westing game was tricky and dangerous, but the heirs played on, through blizzards and burglaries and bombs bursting in air. And one of them won! A better read than many of today's contemporary mystery novels. Housed in a colorfully decorative clamshell case with the book's dust jacket design replicated on the front cover.
