Avery has never been the family favorite, born as she was from scandal. there are long odds against her in her wealthy grandmother's inheritance game: eight challenges related to their ancestors' virtues, with the winner taking control of the family business and fortunes. 
 Westing Game crossed with Amazing Race or one of those reality shows. a fun read if not particularly tightly written, from either a plot or linguistic point of view. would recomnend to high school readers, maybe upper middle school.
