Serafina and the Twisted Staff by Robert Beatty

4.0

I have been really enjoying this little series. Serafina and the Twisted Staff has elements of history, animorphism, magic, friendship, and self-exploration. For a middle grades book (our protagonist is 12), it is done in a relatable and interesting way. Beatty is also a master of building suspense. The ending of this book was kind of ambiguous, so I am wondering if a third book is in the cards or if it is meant to be left to the reader's imagination.
