A review by rouver
The Tattooed Potato and Other Clues, by Ellen Raskin

3.0

I thoroughly enjoyed [b:The Westing Game|902|The Westing Game|Ellen Raskin|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1356850909s/902.jpg|869832], so I sought out another title by Raskin. Delightfully, this too, featured a young woman protagonist. She must solve multiple riddles & seek justice for an exceptionally eccentric friend/employer. It has quirky characters & a fun plot. The only things that make it feel awkward are the dated descriptions of a man with a severe intellectual disability and facial injuries he suffered as a result of a car accident (it was first published in 1975). A discussion with any kids who read this would be a good idea, but otherwise I would recommend it as an entertaining read for 9-10+ yr olds.
