A review by knaglieri
Serafina and the Twisted Staff by Robert Beatty

4.0

Very good for a children's book (I've been reading these with my 8 year old), but obviously written for that age so a little easy to figure out the mystery as an adult. But that's totally fine. My daughter loves them, and I like that they're interesting to read and well written, and we get a little history on Biltmore. I did roll my eyes at the new "Be bold!" mantra, which feels really hokey.
