Ghosts of Greenglass House by Kate Milford 456 pages
This is the sequel to Greenglass House. It's one year later and Milo is not in a great mood. It's not snowing, his teacher makes unfair assumptions because of Milo's race, and worst of all, his parents' hotel has a guest that just won't leave and it's almost Christmas. It certainly doesn't help that his friend, Meddy, who happens to be a ghost, hasn't appeared for nearly a full year and Milo doesn't understand why. Milford is exceptional at describing settings and having completely character-driven plots. Her dialogue between characters is so believable, you can actually hear the voices. I love these books with their quiet, but intriguing stories unfolding within the pages. I wouldn't recommend this for a reluctant reader, but if you have a kid who loves to read and get wrapped up in a story, this is an excellent choice.
