This book will make Readers stay up all night dying to know what is going to happen next.The brave and unusual Serafina lives in the magnificent Biltmore Estate in the opulence of the Gilded Age and the rugged beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. She did not have to hide in the basement anymore and she didn't have to hide from everyone anymore. But in the end, she defeated the man in the Black Cloak and saved everyone that's been captured by the man in the Black Cloak. The ending was super good because in the beginning of the book Serafina had to stay away from everyone except her father, hid in the basement, and had to face the man in the Black Cloak. The characters in the story are great role models (except the villains of course!) and very brave. It is violent and scary in parts of the book but if kids can handle violence then it will be okay.

I read this book when I was ten years old, (I'm eleven now) and loved it!! The beginning was a bit slow but when I got to the part where Serafina spots the man in the black cloak capture the young guest, Clara Brahms, I desperately wanted to find out what was going to happen next. Serafina and Braeden are often under attack from the man in the cloak and other supernatural beings. This scary story is not for the faint of heart the abduction scenes are graphic as children scream out in terror and seemingly vanish into the foul-smelling cloak. Serafina and Braeden, the estate owners' nephew, set out to solve the mystery and save the remaining children, including themselves. The adults are terrified yet clueless only 12-year-old Serafina, who lives secretly in the basement with her mechanic father, knows that a mysterious man in a black cloak is taking them. Children at the wealthy Biltmore estate are being abducted during the night. Parents need to know that Serafina and the Black Cloak is a dark thriller that takes place in 1899 North Carolina.

A sinister-sounding man in a cloak is stealing children during the night in a very gruesome manner.ĭid you know you can flag iffy content? Adjust limits for Violence & Scariness in your kid's entertainment guide.
