Serafina and the Black Cloak by Robert Beatty
3.0
I'm not typically a middle grade reader, but I wanted to read this one before gifting it to a child in my life.
The story explored scary themes in a way that seemed fun and interesting, without being too scary. However, I found the plot and the characters to be lacking. The former felt more like each moment was crafted for entertainment rather than cohesiveness, and the latter felt shallow and underdeveloped.
Still, I chose to pass it on to the young one as I think she will enjoy it.
