Greenglass House

Author: Kate Milford 

Genre: Adventure, Fantasy, Mystery

What this book is about: This book is about a boy named Milo. Most people when they see Milo automatically assume that he is adopted. His home is an inn called the Greenglass House. Normally around the holidays, it's just him and his mom and dad. But this year, 5 mysterious guests come to stay. Their names are Mr. Vinge, Georgie, Clem, Mrs. Hereward, and Dr. Gowervine. Each one has their own secrets. And each seems shocked when they hear that others are staying at the inn. They all seem to have one thing in common: they know things about the inn that Milo doesn't. They are searching for secrets. Milo meets Meddy, who wants to find out what all the strange guests are up to. But one of them is a thief. A pocket watch, a knitting bag, and a notebook seem to "disappear" from three of the guests. Milo and Meddy have to find out who these strangers really are - and why they are REALLY here.

Your opinion:   I thought the book was a bit slow in the beginning, but it became much more interesting. I also loved the twist at the end - totally unexpected! I think I would have liked it more if the stories Milo read in Georgie's book were completed. 

Rating:  4 out of 5 stars

Who would like this book: I think that this is a book with many genres and that people who enjoy mysteries would like this.
