Beschreibung

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.
