GREENGLASS HOUSE #3 : BLUECROWNE Paperback

Kate Milford's "Bluecrowne" is the third installment in the enchanting "Greenglass House" series, acting as a prequel that unveils the origins of the mysterious house itself. Set in 1810, the story follows twelve-year-old Lucy Bluecrowne, who has spent her life aboard her privateer father's ship, The Left-Handed Fate, and now faces the unwelcome prospect of life ashore in the newly built Greenglass House. Her new life with her stepmother, Xiaoming, and her half-brother, Liao, is anything but boring, as two nefarious time-traveling villains target young Liao, who possesses a rare talent for pyrotechnics. Lucy, known for her sharp mind and strategic thinking, must use all her wits to protect her family and uncover the secrets of her new home and its inhabitants, all while delving deeper into the rich, magical, and often dangerous world of Nagspeake.
