pp. 33-37 where the will is being read and the “game” is introduced
 * Good sections to read aloud:**

16 new tenants have moved into Sunset Towers, a new exclusive apartment hi-rise. What they all don’t know is that they are going to become heirs to an eccentric millionaire (one tenant is a mistake). Mr. Westing, the millionaire, has recently passed on, and in his last will and testament, he tells the 16 heirs he has had gathered together, that someone killed him. If one of the pairs of heirs (they are divided into groups of two) can figure out who killed him, they will receive the inheritance. This is a very confusing game with a lot of factors and thoughts to figure out! YA fiction—mystery
