jcfialaThe Westing Game is a fantastic young-adult mystery novel with many characters, many puzzles, and a surprising amount of depth for a 40-year old mystery. I've got an old dog-eared copy that I've had for years, and when I came across it I quickly moved it into my daughter's room for her to enjoy.
We've been reading it before bedtime for the last couple of weeks, and we're right nearly at the end - a position which is bad for my throat, as I tend to try to keep reading it, wanting to get to the ending. We may finish it tomorrow night.
I've been reading to Rose since she was tiny, and I love doing it. Before The Westing Game, we were reading Anne of Green Gables - a somewhat melancholy choice, as Tammy as a huge fan of the BBC production. I'd never read the books, although I'd watched the BBC show a number of times in the background as my wife re-watched it. I was a little surprised - the language is really lush and a lot of fun to read.
Reading to my daughter every night has really improved her language skills and made her a big fan of reading, and it's one of the decisions I'm most proud of regarding her.
