None of the rich folk upstairs know that Serafina exists she and her pa, the estate’s maintenance man, have secretly lived in the basement for as long as Serafina can remember.īut when children at the estate start disappearing, only Serafina knows who the culprit is: a terrifying man in a black cloak who stalks Biltmore’s corridors at night. There’s plenty to explore in her grand home, although she must take care to never be seen.

Serafina has never had a reason to disobey her pa and venture beyond the grounds of the Biltmore estate. Enjoy! Serafina and the Black Cloak by Robert Beatty They mostly fall under the umbrella of YA, MG, and fantasy, because that’s what I love. It’s also the season for catching the last warmth of the sun by reading on the porch, or staying dry with good books during the October rains.īelow are seventeen books I love to read around this time of year, with their publisher’s description included.

It’s the season for warm drinks, scarves, and boots. Fall has filled the air (finally!) here in Virginia.
