The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes is a young adult novel about Avery Grambs, a high school girl who has a plan for a better future: survive high school, win a scholarship, and get out. However, her fortunes change in an instant when she discovers that Tobias Hawthorne, a billionaire, has left her in his will. To earn her reward, she must go to Texas and live in the Hawthorne House for one year—along with Tobias four grandsons. Avery must work together with the Hawthorne family to solve the game and find the truth. The book is a thrilling blend of family secrets, illicit romance, and high-stakes treasure hunt, set in the mysterious Hawthorne House, where every room bears the old mans touch—and his love of puzzles, riddles, and codes.
