Profanity/Language: 2 mild obscenities 1 religious profanity. I had a wonderful time learning about all of Milo's quirks and the secrets that his home held. Really, this book would be at its best if the reader had someone to discuss it with as they went. This book would make a wonderful opportunity for bonding among parents and children if they both take the time to read it. It could also mean fun and games, and a little bit of mystery. I was happy for Milo when he discovered that all the hubbub didn't have to only be a bother. Though the arrival of this, and other travelers, gave me a cozy feeling of being surrounded by family and being a secretive onlooker who enjoys a bit of drama, it is obvious that Milo is a little saddened that he won't get the quality time he wants with his mother and father. I felt sympathetic for him from the start, as right away his plans of a quiet holiday are dashed when an unexpected guest arrives at the inn his family owns.
(Anything that is in shambles and holds some kind of mystery, you can count me in.) This book is told from the perspective of a young boy, Milo, who has always felt a little misplaced in his life. I have always been an admirer of old houses and buildings.
Take two mischievous kids who are bored and ready for an adventure, and you have a whole load of fun on (or should I say in!) your hands. That previous sentence can apply equally to Greenglass House. Just the cover's illustration made me feel like a little kid again and when I was introduced to The Mysterious Benedict Society, a book that pairs a bunch of smart kids at a school and a little bit of mystery into a story of wonder and intrigue for any young reader. If you are at a loss for a wonderful book suggestion for your preteen or young teen, either boy or girl, then Greenglass House is here to come to your aid! I didn't even have to crack the cover to get excited about the story inside.
