But she's caught between two worlds: she's too wild for Biltmore's beautifully dressed ladies and formal customs, and too human to fully join her forest kin. Filled with history, mystery, and magic for both adults and young readers (8+), this Disney-Hyperion thriller debuted as a #1 New York Times Best Seller, earned the prestigious Starred Review from Kirkus Reviews, and is now being taught in over a thousand classrooms nationwide.

Le encanta explorar los inmensos terrenos de la mansión Biltmore y los senderos oscuros de los bosques donde se desarrollan sus novelas. En la actualidad se dedica a la escritura de tiempo completo, pero en su vida pasada, Robert fue de los pioneros en el cómputo de la nube, fue fundador y director general de Plex Systems, cofundador de Beatty Robotics y presidente y director tecnológico de Narrative Magazine. En 2007 recibió la distinción de Emprendedor del Año. Cuando le preguntaron qué lo había inspirado para escribir este libro, Robert dijo: El viaje de Serafina surgió de mi deseo de escribir una historia sobre una joven heroica y poco común para mis tres hijas.
