Aynsley asked this question about The Westing Game:

I love it, and I read it at that age. It's awesome. And I would recommend that the parent read it first and filtered out what they think is too creepy for her, but those small scenes shouldn't stop the girl from reading an amazing book. Hope this helps.(less)
