How the conflict was solved The conflict was that turtle was the bomber to see how every ones actions would be. The others went on in life turtle ended up finding out who it was she was happy with getting part of the two million dollars and won it fair and square.
The theme of the book Life is like a puzzle u put it together one piece at a time.
My reaction to the book I liked it because it was like a puzzle. What I disliked about it was that there were too many clues and main characters to follow. My favorite part about the book was, when someone pulled turtles braid , and she kicked that person in the shin.
Who should read my book A person that likes puzzles and mystery type stuff should definitely read my book ( The Westing Game ).
