The fantasy element is even stronger in this book, and the mystery is delightfully twisty as well. It’s been a while since I read the first book, but luckily Milford does a good job of filling in enough of the gaps that I wasn’t completely lost. Rating: 3/5 I loved Greenglass House, so of course I had to pick up the sequel! Ghosts of Greenglass House picks up a year after the events of the first novel. There’s no chance of that happening again, though Milo is certain of it. It’s almost enough to make him wish for a winter break like last year’s, when his house was full of secretive guests and unexpected mysterious, and Meddy had helped him unravel it all. Worst of all, Milo’s friend Meddy has been conspicuously absent for a long, long time. Then there’s the lone guest staying at his family’s inn, an art student who seems determined not to leave until he’s sketched very single stained-glass window in the place. For another, it’s been a tough couple of weeks at school, thanks to a teacher who doesn’t get how much Milo hates having attention called to him, and to his adoption. For one thing, there’s no snow, and it’s hard to get into the spirit when all you have to work with is a crust of stupid frost. Milo keeps waiting for that special relief that usually settles in at the start of winter vacation. Ghosts of Greenglass House, by Kate Milford, was published in 2017 by Clarion.
