(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Gilbert Ford. Middle schoolers Melissa, Wilf, and Bondi are selected for a secret ten-thousand-dollar scholarship contest requiring they solve three clues each. What is the scholarship's connection to prankster billionaire Enoch Ambrose's recent death, and why were these three selected as contestants? This puzzle novel with heart blends the devious complexity of The Westing Game and Chasing Vermeer with its own twists and intriguing contemporary-world connections.
