It is a middle grade book revolving around our main character Milo, who is the adopted son of the Pines'. He was looking forward to his Christmas break and some much needed downtime with his family, who happen to own and run an inn - The Greenglass House, that is known to welcome all kinds of visitors, including smugglers. However, just as Milo had finished all his schoolwork early to really enjoy the rest of his break, several guests show up at the doorstep of the inn, each with a stranger reason for the visit than the next. Milo, a lover of mysteries, and mainly just bored, begins an adventure, in which he tries to find out the real reason behind their stay, and how they might be connected to one another. In doing so, he meets a young girl his age, Meddy, who encourages him to role play and use his imagination. Something that proves to be quite difficult for Milo at first, as he is grounded in reality, but he soon learns to enjoy the role playing as it gives him a chance to pretend to be someone he is not. This is important for Milo's character development, as he struggles with his identity and the many unanswered questions regarding his background and birth parents, and seems to deal with a lot of guilt for wanting to know, given that his parents are great and loving and have never done anything for him to wish otherwise. At first, I was a little put off by the "game", maybe because it's way above my age group and so I couldn't help but think how childish these kids are being. Meddy, especially, came off as very annoying and clingy and her insistence on sticking to character could become quite irritating - Milo sure did get frustrated with her a few times, however, as they get closer and closer to solving the mystery the game begins to make more sense until it reaches a climax, which honestly left me sitting with my jaw on the floor and gave me goosebumps all over. I really enjoyed getting to know each of the guests separately, and trying to figure out who was up to what. They all act quite suspicious, and they all have bizarre backgrounds that sometimes don't add up. Suddenly, things start disappearing - guests belongings are being stolen, and everyone is a suspect. Milo makes it his mission to find these missing belongings, but more importantly to find out who is behind all this thievery - and why. When Milo suggests that they all begin sharing stories after dinner, as a way to pass the time and get to know each other a little better, you start seeing glimpses of each one's true intentions and Milo uses that time to try and assess the details for any clues and piece things together, with the help of Meddy. It all reminded me a little bit of Agatha Christie's, And Then There Were None. Obviously, a more innocent, child-friendly version, just in the way that these strangers are all stuck in a house and telling stories and hiding things and so on. Then again, I probably made that connection because I had recently read it. A great mystery, with some great characters that are all well developed and rounded. Milo is a great protagonist to have and root for, and his sidekick Meddy is a wonderful companion to him. The twist in the story took me completely off-guard, and I honestly didn't see it coming. I don't know if it's just me, or if Kate Milford played it well, but I was blindsided and found it one of the most unpredictable twists that I had read in a while. Very well done. That twist and ending alone quickly made this book one of my favorites, otherwise, it would have been just another regular old mystery. Review: Green glass house - My mom got this for me to read and I loved the plot. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #24,490 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #165 in Children's Mystery, Detective, & Spy #173 in Children's Siblings Books (Books) #643 in Children's Friendship Books | | Book 1 of 5 | Greenglass House | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,786) | | Dimensions | 5.12 x 0.94 x 7.62 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | Grade level | 5 - 7 | | ISBN-10 | 054454028X | | ISBN-13 | 978-0544540286 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 400 pages | | Publication date | November 1, 2016 | | Publisher | Clarion Books | | Reading age | 9 - 12 years, from customers | ## Images ![Greenglass House - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81pnzLffIAL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great twist to take your breath away *by S***D on April 10, 2016* This book has definitely been one of my favourite reads of the year so far, and the funny thing is, I didn't think it would be.

And they all get snowed in together as a mystery begins to unfold... I enjoyed this tale, Agatha Christie for young folks, with colorful characters, nods to role-playing games, and some great heart, particularly with Milo's love for his parents, but curiosity about is birth parents. A strong recommend. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/36723084-greenglass-house](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/36723084-greenglass-house) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
