Serafina and the Seven Stars is the 4th book in the series by Robert Beatty. Due out 9th July 2019 from Disney-Hyperion, it's 352 pages and will be available in ebook and hardcover formats.
This series is aimed at middle grade readers and includes some actual historical places and characters around which the narrative is woven. Though the target audience is younger, it can certainly be enjoyed by adults as well. The plotting is well done and the author has a deft touch with dramatic tension. Main character Serafina is the shapeshifting guardian of Biltmore and this time she's by herself without her friend and mentor Braeden.
I received a sample excerpt for review purposes and found it engaging and well written. This is a tightly woven series and presupposes some backstory familiarity of the reader. I would recommend reading the series in order.
Looking forward to reading the complete book as well as future installments.
Four stars.
