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.
