I love reading the Greenglass House on my iPad!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Every year about this time I start hearing from families and book clubs and wintry-minded folks of all ages who are beginning their annual reads of Greenglass House and Ghosts of Greenglass House. This year, because The Raconteur's Commonplace Book just came out in paperback and because I was completely inspired by Grace Lin's and Debbi Michiko Florence's Very Asian Book Trip, I decided to head out for a few stock-signing day trips. After all, when the weather turns, it's the best time to book your Nagspeake holiday vacation. Greenglass House and the Blue Vein Tavern always have rooms ready for you!

Here's my holiday road trip schedule. These are not book events or readings (unless otherwise noted)-I'm just swooping in to sign stock. But if you or anyone you know needs a trip to Nagspeake, these are great places to shop, and every one of them will ship books for you. Where I have additional information (like whether personalization is possible, or whether you need to use specific links to order) I'll add that info-but you can always call the stores in question to inquire and place orders.

McNally has all of the Greenglass House stories as well as copious amounts of The Boneshaker, but can order any others for you and I'll happily go over and sign.

Two of my cousins are adopted and they both have wondered who their birth parents might be. One of them actually had the opportunity to meet his birth mom, dad and sisters and stays in contact with them. The other one has not been able to contact her parents and I can see the hurt it has caused her. Questioning your heritage is normal, whether you are adopted or not. There is no need for Milo to feel guilty about it at all!

If you liked "The Greenglass House" by Kate Milford, you will probably also like "The Mysterious Benedict Society" series by Trenton Lee Stewart. Check it out: http://www.mysteriousbenedictsociety.com/

Did you figure out who the villain was before Milo did?

Whom did you suspect, and why?

Post "SPOILER" in the title of your response!

# data[].attributes.body
Do you like the stories Milo reads or the stories the guests tell?

Why do you think the author includes them?

Do they get in the way of reading about Milo, or

do they make Greenglass House more enjoyable?

# data[].attributes.body
Were you adopted, or do you know someone who was?

Do you think Milo's feelings about being adopted are realistic?

What parents need to know

What's the story?

Milo's looking forward to a couple of weeks of quiet over winter break: The inn his family runs in a creaky, isolated house on top of a hill almost never has guests once the cold weather sets in. But when an unexpected guest is followed by another, and another, and more still, Milo's sure it can't be coincidence. When Milo finds one of the guests has dropped a mysterious map, he and his friend Meddy determine to decode the map's secrets and find out what's brought the strange visitors to Greenglass House.

Is it any good?
