Vinge takes all of the guests and Milo's parents hostage, because he wants to find the last treasure of Michael "Doc Holystone" Whitcher, a famous smuggler and owner of Greenglass House before his untimely death. Milo and Meddy's investigation eventually leads them to believe that De Cary Vinge, the first guest to have shown up, is a customs agent, which he confirms in a story he tells. At first, nothing is lost, but then three guests are robbed at once. They find that one of the guests has been entering occupied rooms.
He befriends the cook's younger daughter, Meddy Caraway, and they start a role-playing game campaign to investigate the chart, and learn more about the guests. Milo believes that the appearance of each of them is not accidental, and their appearances are somehow connected to a nautical chart he found, and the house itself. He knows that no one will come to the inn during the holidays- but on the very first night, one after another, five guests show up to stay at Greenglass House. Milo Pine, the twelve-year-old adopted son of the owners of Greenglass House, an old ramshackle inn, hopes to get some rest during the Christmas holidays. The book hit the New York Times Best Seller list. The novel won the Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Children's Novel, and was also nominated for the National Book Award and the Andre Norton Award. Greenglass House is a 2014 novel by American writer Kate Milford.
