Bluecrowne: A Greenglass House Story

Lucy Bluecrowne wants a life of adventure on the high seas. But when her brother is kidnapped by two time-travelers in search of a magic only he possesses, she gets more adventure than she bargained for in her fight to save him.
Return to the world of the best-selling Greenglass House, where smugglers, magic, and pyrotechnics mix, in a new adventure from a New York Times best-selling, National Book Award&;nominated, and Edgar Award&;winning author. Lucy Bluecrowne is beginning a new life ashore with her stepmother and half brother, though she&;s certain the only place she&;ll ever belong is with her father on a ship of war as part of the crew. She doesn&;t care that living in a house is safer and the proper place for a twelve-year-old girl; it&;s boring. But then two nefarious strangers identify her little brother as the pyrotechnical prodigy they need to enact an evil plan, and it will take all Lucy&;s fighting instincts to keep her family together. Set in the magical Greenglass House world, this action-packed tale of the house&;s first inhabitants reveals the origins of some of its many secrets.
