The publisher's description:
"A rambling old inn, a strange
map, an attic packed with treasures, squabbling guests, theft,
friendship, and an unusual haunting mark this smart middle grade mystery
in the tradition of the Mysterious Benedict Society books and Blue
Balliet's Chasing Vermeer series.
It's wintertime at Greenglass House. The creaky smuggler's inn is
always quiet during this season, and twelve-year-old Milo, the
innkeepers' adopted son, plans to spend his holidays relaxing. But on
the first icy night of vacation, out of nowhere, the guest bell rings.
Then rings again. And again. Soon Milo's home is bursting with odd,
secretive guests, each one bearing a strange story that is somehow
connected to the rambling old house. As objects go missing and tempers
flare, Milo and Meddy, the cook's daughter, must decipher clues and
untangle the web of deepening mysteries to discover the truth about
Greenglass House-and themselves."
I cannot wait to see what Kate Milford does with one of my favorite fictional things, the attic packed with treasures....

I'm eagerly waiting for this one too. I will read anything Milford writes, but this has so many things I love in it I would read it no matter what. It is nice to know these things are in the hands of someone I know can write so well.
ReplyDeleteI hope they don't change that cover; it's gorgeous. Who wouldn't want to know what's happening in that house?
ReplyDeleteOh my, that's all very appealing! I hope the cover art stays the same, too.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard about this one before and it sounds great! Thanks for the suggestion. Please check out my WoW! And take a look at our giveaway of Hostage Three by Nick Lake.
ReplyDeleteI agree on the cover--I don't see how it could be much more appealing!
ReplyDeleteAn eccentric house (castle, hotel, dwelling of any sort) is always worth a look!
