Book Review by Marissa Leno
“Greenglass House” by Kate Milford.
Setting: Winter, a cold and icy Christmas break in a ramshackle
manor house on a hill that looks as if it had been cobbled together
from discarded pieces of a dozen mismatched mansions collected from
a dozen different cities.
The Story: The Greenglass House, also known as the smuggler’s
inn, is a mysterious old four-story manor overlooking an inlet of har-
bors. It is also the home of 12-year-old Milo, the innkeeper’s adopted
son and his family. One night Milo and his mother are settled in, ready
to spend their winter vacation relaxing when to their surprise they
hear the guest doorbell ring. One after another of very unusual guests
begin to arrive until soon the empty inn is full. Soon the strangers
start telling stories of how they are connected to the old house (and
possibly each other), but when objects start to go missing, Milo and
Meddy, the cook’s daughter, take it upon themselves to investigate
and soon their quest for the truth turns into an intriguing mystery.
Milo and Meddy create characters for themselves and together they
collect clues and explore the mysterious inn determined to find the
truth about the guests, their stories and the Greenglass House.
