30 Day Book Meme (2014 version) - Day 10
May. 14th, 2014 07:01 pmCouldn't post last night as LJ wouldn't load, so I've gotten a day behind.
Day 10 – Favorite classic book
2010 Answer: Anne of the Island/Anne of Windy Poplars
I still have a deep and abiding love for Anne Shirley,
However, to avoid giving the same answers as last year, I'm going to pick Ellen Raskin's The Westing Game. It's one of those books they made us read for class that became something I actually enjoyed. The book is funny, the characters are well-drawn, and the game itself keeps you engaged and trying to figure it out. It might have been written for middle-schoolers, but it didn't talk down to us.
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. Barney Northrup had rented one of the apartments to the wrong person.
