Kate Milford’s new book Greenglass House is a mystery, a ghost story, a
holiday story, a survival story, and a family story. Milo and his adopted parents the Pines run
an inn which used to belong to a smuggler. In fact smugglers still come to the
House between trips. Now it is Christmastime and Milo is looking forward to a relaxing
holiday with just his parents. But as an icy snow storm starts, the guest bell
rings and within a day the inn is nearly full of odd, secretive guests who have
some connection to the House. Several days of blizzard conditions traps
everyone in the House. Milo and Meddy, the cook’s daughter, try to decipher
clues, locate missing items, and solve the mystery of Greehglass House.
