Winterhouse by Ben Guterson
4.0

Orphan Elizabeth has been sent away to stay at the Winterhouse Hotel during Christmas. Once there, she discovers a magical book and puzzles that will uncover the secret of Norbridge and his eerie family. But suddenly Elizabeth becomes the hotel’s only hope to break the curse and solve the mystery.

If you’re looking for an enchanting holiday read, this book is it. Packed with puzzles, anagrams, codes, and even magic, this story takes place in a cozy winter setting filled with sledding and delicious (Christmas) food. Amongst the quirky characters, that could easily be your granddads, she finds the feeling of family and friendship. Plus, the charming illustrations by Chloe Bristol truly bring the story to life. This book is a must-read for anyone looking to snuggle up with a wholesome and mysterious tale this Christmas.
