Greenglass House by Kate Milford
4.0

I loved this so much - it definitely reminded me of some childhood favorites, such as The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E Frankweiler and Gone-Away Lake, to name a couple--mostly the two kids working together to solve mysterious happenings aspect--but the setting was a character in itself, and it made the whole book very atmospheric (in a good way.) I will definitely read the second book in this series, although as to whether I need to read four or five books set in the same universe, we will see.
