Greenglass House
Middle grade mystery
Greenglass House
Milo expects a quiet winter holiday at Greenglass House, the remote inn his adoptive parents operate for smugglers, but a succession of unusual guests arrives through the snow. Objects begin disappearing, stories conflict, and every visitor seems interested in the house’s hidden history. A role-playing game shared with the cook’s daughter gives Milo a new way to investigate clues while exploring questions about his own identity. Snowy, layered, and wonderfully bookish, this middle-grade mystery belongs on a winter night for readers who enjoy secret passages, folklore, puzzles, and an inn crowded with people who are not what they claim.
