The War That Saved My Life

So far in the book Ada, our main character, is living with a grumpy woman named Susan Smith because WWII is coming to London so she and her brother had to flee. Ada is teaching herself how to ride her horse, Butter, and is learning new things about the world and new vocabulary.  Her brother Jamie is not loving the life in the country and is complaining about wanting to go home even though going back home to their mom would mean living in poverty and being abused. This book is pretty slow and gets boring in the middle. I, personally, don't recommend this book because most of the characters, like Ada and Jamie, are pretty unlikeable.

Why is The Westing Game is my favorite book?

The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin is my all time favorite book.  It is creative, interesting, and it makes you think.  The book is all about about 16 nieces and nephews of the late Sam Westing who were all living in the same building.  Throughout the story there are a series of strange events that always leave you on a cliffhanger.  From the beginning of the book, you need to piece together what the story line is about and follow each character for the big reveal at the end of the story.  I like this book because the ending was unpredictable.  For most stories I am able to predict the way it is going to end which is really boring, but the Westing Game is different.  The ending was perfect and unpredictable.  If you are looking for an amazing mystery book, The Westing Game is just right.
