Greenglass House
Quotes from the Book
Give me a puzzle to solve. Let me see if I can solve it.
Winston and his sister walked for a time in silence, each in an invisible, vibrating pocket of excitement.
Of course. Treasure hunts make much better stories when there’s treasure at the end.
Who hides a ring? Who sets up this whole cockamamie production with puzzle pieces and treasure hunts and who knows what else over a ring?
If teams had to name themselves honestly, they’d all be the Pimple-Faced Teenagers.
Winston Breen was solving a puzzle, but then Winston Breen was always solving a puzzle.

About the book
Winston Breen finds puzzles everywhere, even on pizzas, and solving them is what he does best. But when his sister uncovers mysterious wooden strips with words and letters that even Winston can't figure out, the entire family is obsessed. It turns out the strips are part of a scavenger hunt that a town patriarch set up for his children. If all four sets are put together, they will lead to a ring worth thousands of dollars. Cooperating seems like a no-brainer to Winston, but to solve the puzzle, the group has to overcome mysterious threats, mutual mistrust, 25-year old clues, and participants who will do anything to keep the treasure for themselves. Chock full of puzzles to solve, some involving the mystery and others Winston runs into along the way, this treasure hunt will keep readers challenged right to the end.
