Greenglass House

by Kate Milford

New York Times Bestseller * National Book Award Nominee * Winner of the Edgar Award for Best Juvenile Mystery It’s wintertime at Greenglass House. The creaky smuggler’s inn is always quiet during this season, and twelve-year-old Milo, the innkeepers’ adopted son, plans to spend his holidays relaxing. But on the first icy night of vacation, out of nowhere, the guest bell rings. Then rings again. And again... Soon Milo’s home is bursting with odd, secretive guests, each one bearing a strange story that is somehow connected to the rambling old house. As objects go missing and tempers flare, Milo and Meddy, the cook’s daughter, must decipher clues and untangle the web of deepening mysteries to discover the truth about Greenglass House—and themselves. But what secrets are these strangers hiding, and what do they want with the old inn? A Cozy Winter Mystery: Snowed in at a smugglers' inn with a cast of strange characters, Milo finds his quiet Christmas vacation has turned into a classic whodunit. An Unlikely Friendship: To solve the puzzle, Milo must team up with Meddy, the cook’s sharp-witted daughter. Their game of make-believe quickly becomes all too real as they hunt for clues. Secrets of a Smuggler's Inn: Each eccentric guest has a story connected to Greenglass House's past. As Milo and Meddy listen, they realize the house's biggest secret may be tied to its very foundations. A Story of Adoption and Identity: As the adopted son of the innkeepers, Milo has always felt a little out of place. This mystery will lead him to discover the truth not just about the house, but about himself and what it means to belong.
