Synopsis

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. Longlisted for the 2014 National Book Award for Young People's Literature

Intermixed between the mystery are interludes of h......more

Goodreads review by Jacob on December 04, 2014

There was never any question in my mind that this would turn out to be a five-star review (once I started reading, at any rate). It's not that the book is atmospheric. It is, and strongly so. And it's not that the characters are immediately and intensely engaging. They are, and without stretching or......more

Goodreads review by Luffy Sempai on May 21, 2022

Finished the book a few minutes ago. It was near perfect. It rivalled the best books I've ever read. I daresay that Greenglass House is better than most Harry Potter books. It was a wonderful read. What is funny is that I am - even now - lacking words to praise this magical book. I cannot sit still w......more

Goodreads review by Gavin on May 13, 2020

I wish I read this during Christmastime because this was a perfectly atmospheric wintery read! Milo is excited that it's Christmas break. Not only does he get school off, but he lives at the Greenglass House - an inn where it's very quiet over Christmas. That's why it's highly unusual why a load of......more
