Kate Milford's "Greenglass House," a National Book Award Nominee, plunges readers into a captivating winter mystery at a creaky old inn known for housing smugglers. Twelve-year-old Milo, the adopted son of the innkeepers, looks forward to a quiet holiday, but his plans are upended when a flurry of eccentric and secretive guests arrive, each with a peculiar connection to the sprawling house. As odd items go missing and tensions rise among the intriguing visitors, Milo and Meddy, the cook's quick-witted daughter, transform into detectives, using a role-playing game called "Odd Trails" to unravel the intricate web of secrets, stolen objects, and hidden histories that bind the guests and the house itself, ultimately leading Milo to discover unexpected truths about his own past.
