Has anyone ever read Serafina and the black cloak? It's by Robert Beatty and it's soooooo good! Itsfairly new and based in 1899. Serafina is a twelve year old girl who lives in (the real) biltmore estate in Asheville, North Carolina. She's always known she's different; her amber eyes, her streaked hair, sleeping in the day, hunting rats in the basement at night. All the while the fact of her existence is known to no one but her pa. It all starts to change when a little girl goes missing one night. And only Serafina saw her kidnaper; a mysterious fiend in a black cloak. The young master of the house recruits her as a different kind of CRC (chief rat catcher) as she and Braeden work together to uncover this mystery.
