Full of mysteries and questions, full of excitement and fright. A mistake, a bomber, and maybe even a murder. Who killed Samuel W. Westing? “The Westing Game” by Ellen Raskin contains many similarities and differences that are worth questioning. The Westing Game story is about a 13 year old girl, that kicks people when she gets mad and when other people {except for her sister and her mom} touch her braids . Which shows that Barney Northrup and Sandy Mcsouthers are the same person. In the book heirs get together to solve the mysterious murder of Sam Westing. Though some people throughout the story/game want to seek revenge, but in the end they all make up for their mistakes. The movie and the book have very many similarities and differences.
