Lorel - Not care for The Westing Game???? What??? LOL! I loved it as a kid but my DS and I read it together and discussed it as we went or I don't think he would have enjoyed it as much either. I enjoyed re-reading it as an adult because there are so many nuances that you miss as a kid (well at least I did).
I haven't read Lord of the Flies so I don't know what age is appropriate for that. But I am sure someone else can help you there.
The GT program at school is currently reading The White Mountain. I haven't read that either but the kids really seem to like it and the premise is intriguing.
