This was such a fun, heartwarming story filled with adventure and really beautiful relationships. The details of the mystery at the heart of the story got a little hard to follow at times, but were almost always cleared up rather quickly. I loved Milo, his parents, and the entire cast of eccentric characters. Milo's journey toward a fuller sense of self was handled with wonderful nuance and tenderness, and it was lovely seeing him come into his own. I'm excited to see where else the series goes, and to explore more of this quirky house and city.

I loved everything about Greenglass House. The characters, especially Milo and his relationship with his parents. Milo is a really round character and I could relate to his moments of overstimulation. I loved seeing that on page in a children’s book. I am not adopted but I felt like this book handled adoption and what an adopted child may be feeling with great care. I think so many kids could see themselves in this book.

This book has great scene setting has so much great atmosphere. And it builds mystery in such a delightful way that had me absolutely hooked from the very beginning, I had a very hard time putting it down. It’s fun, it’s mysterious, it’s a little ghosty in all the best ways. 10/10 all around.

I recommend reading this during a snowstorm, curled up with a blanket and hot chocolate. I am buying the rest of the series ASAP immediately and can’t wait to keep reading.

Such a cute holiday mystery! I know it’s for kids, but I do wish the villain had a little more dimension beyond pure evil. I also wanted

Clem and Georgie to be lesbians and fall in love rather than fight over the same guy. Seemed way more plausible based on their initial chemistry (and colorful hair!)
