This sure seems like a random choice for the Newbery. I read this when I was a kid, but only vaguely remembered it, and I'm kind of surprised that it won the Newbery award. Not that it wasn't good, but there wasn't really a message or anything deep behind it. It just was a mystery, which I enjoy as much as anybody, but it seemed like most of the Newberys have more going on behind the scenes. I thought the mystery was pretty awesome, though, and I love the plot of naming people to in a will and making them do stuff for their inheritance. It was a great read and a fun way to spend an evening.
