The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin

     If you like a good mystery, check out The Westing Game (MC FIC RAS).  The story is funny and filled with very quirky characters who are all thrown into a crazy mystery game.  As the reader, you get all of the clues. Can you solve the mystery before one of the characters does?

Airborn by Kenneth Oppel

     If you like a good adventure, try this out!  Airborn has a perfect mix of realism and fantasy, with plenty of action to keep the story moving.  Oppel invites readers to join Matt Cruse aboard a ship as it sails through the sky!  We get to tour a magnificent airship, explore a mysterious island, meet pirates and a passenger with a mission.  I couldn't put it down!

The Headless Cupid by Zilpha Keatley Snyder

     This is one of my favorite authors of all-time!  This book is both mysterious and funny with a very memorable cast of characters.  The story line is believable but with a healthy dose of the magic of the unknown.  If you enjoy it, be sure to check out her other books!
