When my third-grader came home and told us she was reading The Westing Game, I was thrilled. I loved that book, although I think I read it in sixth grade not too long after it was published. I decided to re-read the book, and it was just as good now as it was then. What I did not remember, and I'm sure did not pay attention to at the time, was the setting. The book is set in (or around) Milwaukee! So, add The Westing Game to the short list of books, TV shows and movies set in Milwaukee.

This is one of my all-time favorite children's books. I love the vivid characters and the constant wordplay--like where unemployed Angela's fiance wonders what she meant by describing her profession as "nun." I've always thought that it would make a great movie...
