Serafina and the Splintered Heart (Serafina #3)
By Robert Beatty
In Stores July 3, 2017
Middle-Grade
The storms are coming….
Something has happened to Serafina. She has awoken into a darkness she does not understand, scarred from a terrible battle, only to find that life at Biltmore Estate has changed in unimaginable ways. Old friends do unthinkable things and enemies seem all around.
A mysterious threat moves towards Biltmore, a force without a name, bringing with it violent storms and flooding that stands to uproot everything in its path. Serafina must uncover the truth about what has happened to her and find a way to harness her strange new powers before it’s too late.
With only days to achieve the impossible, Serafina fights to reclaim herself as the Guardian of Biltmore, friend of Braeden, daughter of her Pa, and heroine of the Blue Ridge Mountains and all the folk and creatures that call it home.
In the epic third installment of Robert Beatty’s #1 bestselling series, Serafina takes her rightful place among literary champions as she battles fiercely to defend all she loves and become everything that she is meant to be.
The Serafina Series
Set in the magical Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, Robert Beatty’s #1 New York Times best-selling series stars the fierce, resilient character of Serafina, a wild girl longing for kinship and struggling to understand her place in the world. This timeless story of finding one’s true family and best self chronicles an epic battle between good and evil and rewrites the rules of who can be a hero.

My favorite, precious, beautiful 22-month-old baby girl (daughter of a dear friend) loves it when I read to her when we spend time together. I have bought her many, many, many books since she was born and books are her favorite toy to take when she goes into the car with her Mom. So, if she follows the path of my two (now adult) children, she will take a book or two with her everywhere she goes as both of mine still do!

I personally haven’t done a good job of encouraging them to read but we joined the library summer reading program which offers incentives for reading

I purchased a few different Minecraft -themed devotionals and my son must read a life lesson each day in order to earn Minecraft screen time.

I try to find books that my kids will love. The Serafina series was one of the first my daughter really got into…she’s reread the first 2 many times. This summer I’m having them read before they can watch tv.

Encouraging them to read even if it is a comic book. At least we got them reading, can move them on from there.

My kids love to play and chat on their devices. We have a summer rule that no device time until 30 minutes of reading is done.

I keep my kids motivated by signing them up for a reading program at our local library. I also try to keep them interested by having my girls read stories together and then create mini plays to put on for family when they are done.
