Join New York Times bestselling author Robert Beatty to celebrate the release of his new book, SERAFINA AND THE TWISTED STAFF, the highly anticipated sequel to last year’s runaway hit set at Biltmore Estate. Published by Disney Hyperion, this exciting mystery-thriller for young readers (8+) and adults follows the story of an unusual cat-like girl who lives at Biltmore Estate amidst the opulence of the Gilded Age and the rugged beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

THE 2016 SUMMER TOUR! This special event includes a presentation by the author, Q&A, free food & drink, a book signing, costumed characters, Serafina Dark Forest ice cream from The Hop, lots of Serafina giveaways, and the opportunity to meet the author and fans of Disney Hyperion’s newest book series.

Early praise from the prestigious Kirkus Reviews says SERAFINA AND THE TWISTED STAFF is “Even better than its predecessor, a sequel that delivers nonstop thrills from beginning to end.” (Starred Review) You can watch the exciting new book trailer here: http://bit.ly/1UovAES
