Written by Robert Beatty
Serafina and the Black Cloak was a real page turner. It is about a mysterious and bold 12 year old girl, who the reader is not sure is human, or animal, until far into the book. It takes place at the Biltmore Estate, where Serafina and her new friend, Braeden, take on a frightening mystery. Serafina and Braeden come from two very different worlds, one living in secret in the basement of the estate, and the other a wealthy relative of the Vanderbilts. It keeps you in suspense, and is a bit frightening.
