COMMUNITY REVIEWS

A very fun somewhat murder mystery young adult book set in the world of competitive Scrabble. submitted by rshah on July 23, 2023, 7:02am Queen of the Tiles is not just a mystery book. It’s also an examination of grief. While we focus on Najwa’s process, we also see insights into how others have processed Trina’s death and how it impacts their view of the game. The insights into the world of competitive Scrabble and the use of words and definitions to move the plot along added a fun twist.
