Archived from groups: rec>arts>books>childrens (more info?)
Hello!
I'm looking for a book I.D. for another customer, I hope you guys can
help me out (yet again!).
This one was published in about 1982 or so, and was at about a 6th
grade reading level. It was a mysetery, and the main character was a
girl. The girl was trying to find the name of the culprit by
following clues having to do with the song "America the Beautiful".
The culprit ended up being Bertha Crowe. There were other character
that had directional references in their names, like Mr. North or
Northrup.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Darcy

I like a nice easy one Smile.

This is Ellen Raskin's _The Westing Game_. It's pretty consistently in
print and should be easy to acquire used if not.

Thank you both, Derek and Deborah!!
I am ashamed that I didn't know this one - my goal has been to read
all the "summer reading" list books that we get in at the store, and
clearly, I haven't gotten to that one yet!
Thanks so much, as always, for your help!
Darcy
