have a patron who is trying to recall the title and author of a book she
has read in the time frame from 1963-1969. This book is a book that
could be classified as children's or young adult. She also thought
that this was either a Newberry honor or Caldecott honor. We have
searched NoveList, but have found a book that matches.</font></font></font> <font face="Tahoma"><font color="#000080"><font size=-1>The
plot: an old man offers to his heirs a chance to win the exclusive
inheritance of his huge estate. To be the winner, the heirs
had to solve a riddle. The solution includes facts from the stock
market and the Wall Street Journal. A young girl solves the mystery
and becomes the heir, and develops a close friendship with the old man.</font></font></font> <font face="Tahoma"><font color="#000080"><font size=-1>The

leave this "mystery" in your expert hands. Please post to the list,
and thank you in advance!</font></font></font> <font face="Tahoma"><font color="#000080"><font size=-1>Mary
