School Library Journal (SLJ), Kirkus Reviews, and the Historical Novel Society have all given Serafina and Willa extremely strong praise. Teachers will find the books to be well suited for English Language Arts, History, and Social Studies from 4th to 10th grade. Willa of Dark Hollow and Willa of the Wood capture the mystery and magic of the Great Smoky Mountains, including both its natural wonders and its rich history. With its combination of Gilded Age / Turn-of-the-Century American history, the real-life Biltmore Estate setting, and its intense mystery and action, Serafina and the Black Cloak and the rest of the Serafina Series are excellent novels to engage young readers in the rewards of historical fiction.
Teachers love the historical elements, figurative writing, engaging themes, and rich vocabulary.
Students love the books for their mystery, fast-paced action, and compelling characters. The Serafina Series, Willa of Dark Hollow, and Willa of the Wood are being taught in over a thousand classrooms nationwide.
