Disclosure: This post is brought to you in partnership with Disney-Hyperion. Today we’re giving away #SerafinaandtheTwistedStaff by Robert Beatty!
Your summer reader will be thrilled with this Shadows of the Forest Prize Pack! Serafina and the Twisted Staff (book 2) is being released on 7/12/16 but you can read a 2-chapter sample today!
Here’s a quick synopsis of the book:
Serafina’s defeat of the Man in the Black Cloak has brought her out of the shadows and into the daylight realm of her home, Biltmore Estate. Every night she visits her mother in the forest, eager to learn the ways of the catamount. But Serafina finds herself caught between her two worlds: she’s too wild for Biltmore’s beautifully dressed ladies and formal customs, and too human to fully join her kin.
Deep in the forest, Serafina comes face-to-face with the evil infecting Biltmore—and discovers its reach is far greater than she’s ever imagined. All the humans and creatures of the Blue Ridge Mountains are in terrible danger. For Serafina to defeat this new evil before it engulfs her beloved home, she must search deep inside herself and embrace the destiny that has always awaited her.
One (1) lucky Deal Seeking mom reader will win The Shadows of the Forest Prize Pack, which includes:
- Copy of Serafina and the Black Cloak
- Copy of Serafina and the Twisted Staff
- A candle tree shadow projector to make the shadows of a forest at home!

My son is an avid reader, but we’ve struggled with getting him to turn off the electronic devices & read this summer. I find that getting him into series that really grip him are key to keeping his reading up.

I have signed up my kids at our local library for the summer reading program. We go as a family once a week, to show the librarian their progress. They get excited about reading.

I limit game and TV time so he has no choice but to read to entertain himself. :)

Luckily I don’t have to make my kids read, they are running out of things to read

My daughter loves to read so this is not hard but we do take time at night and shut off the electronics & the TV and just have quiet time to read and visit and just decompress about the day.

I’m motivating my toddlers by library books. A whole different bunch every week. By my enthusiasm with reading, I hope it passes onto them.

I am motivating my kids to read more this summer through our library’s summer reading program. They also got to bring retired books home from school at the end of the year. They’re more excited to read these books since they remind them of a good year with great teachers who inspired them to read and write.
