Description
A New York Times bestselling series! The Inheritance Games and One of Us is Lying for middle grade -- an unforgettable mystery featuring a secret society, a mysterious island, and dangerous family secrets.
The game starts now. Jack and Weatherby—the newest members of Last Heir, the most powerful secret society in the world—have landed at an exclusive prep school in the Swiss Alps, ready to win big.
Last Heir is offering the chance of a lifetime: millions of dollars, a private island, and a powerful spot in the society’s inner circle. Not everyone has the same reasons for playing, but with money, power, and influence up for grabs, everyone wants to win. Too bad they’re not all playing by the same rules.
New York Times bestselling author Alyson Gerber crafts an explosive, high-octane mystery that will immerse readers in a world of dangerous riddles, friendship and betrayal, and an addictive search for the truth.

This is the BEST book I have EVER read!!!!! What the heck!?!?!?! The plot twist in this book was WILD!!!! I have already read this book 2 times now. The first time I read it I could not put it down and I read the entire book in one sitting. It was THAT great! The characters were so accurate for how a kid their age would think...perfect! I can not wait for another book in the series. I can't believe this one doesnt even come out for another 6 months, I am already ready for book 4 ASAP! 100% read this book as soon as it comes out, you don't want to wait, you need all the plot twist! Not only was this the best book ever it was also the best book in the series! I don't know how Alyson Gerber comes up with such amazing story lines!
Review written with/for/by my 12 year old, she read it as soon as it got delivered to her Kindle in one sitting! Thank you to the publisher and Alyson Gerber. I will also post this review to Goodreads as soon as it is available to be reviewed on there.

Jack and Weatherby are now official members of The Last Heir, a worldwide secret society and are headed to a Swiss boarding school. They’ve barely arrived and suddenly someone who they needed info from is dead and the killer wants a key, going so far as to kidnap one of The Liars to get it. Can the group with their new friend (or foe?) Axton figure out who is behind the murder or will one of them be next?

There is nothing I didn’t love about this book. The whole series has been great so far, but this one was really fun to read. The danger and excitement ratcheted up by a lot and kept the story moving along and hard to put down. I also really love seeing the main characters not only be family, but also treating each other well. One thing this book does really well is cement in the value of friendship with loyalty and trust. I loved that Jack and Ford took the sayings that their dad was using to manipulate them into doing what he wanted and turned them into positive mantras about creating their own paths and becoming their own people. I also love that Weatherby has fears, but isn’t the typical female lead that is paralyzed by those fears and needs someone to help her get past them all the time. She is a strong, independent, and intelligent young woman and I think girls need to see that example in books more often. I cannot wait to see if this series continues and where it goes!!!
