Serafina and the Black Cloak by Robert Beatty

5.0

4.5/5

Highly recommend!!

This book was incredible! The writing, the story, the characters - all of it!

About midway through the book I remember thinking how I didn't want the book to end even though I wanted to find out who the Man in the Black Cloak was. I think it was definitely the writing and story-telling that made this book so amazing. This is probably one of the best middle-grade books I've read in a while.

I love how this book combines history with a little bit of fantasy and mythology. Usually I find combinations like that not interesting, but the way this book was written, it just worked really well. Also, there were parts that were just terrifying that had me freaking out - which to me is good writing :)

Definitely a must read for readers of all ages!
