Hollow

Watters, Shannon (author.). Boyer-White, Branden (author.). Nelle, Berenice (illustrator.). Irving, Washington, 1783-1859 Inspired by: Legend of Sleepy Hollow (author.).

Summary: "Isabel 'Izzy' Crane and her family have just relocated to Sleepy Hollow, the town made famous by--and obsessed with--Washington Irving's legend of the Headless Horseman. But city slicker-skeptic Izzy has no time for superstition as she navigates life at a new address, a new school, and, with any luck, with new friends. Ghost stories aren't real, after all. Then Izzy is pulled into the orbit of the town's teen royalty, Vicky Van Tassel (yes, that Van Tassel) and loveable varsity-level prankster Croc Byun. Vicky's weariness with her family connection to the legend turns to terror when the trio begins to be haunted by the Horseman himself, uncovering a curse set on destroying the Van Tassel line. Now, they have only until Halloween night to break it--meaning it's a totally inconvenient time for Izzy to develop a massive crush on the enigmatic Vicky. Can Izzy's practical nature help her face the unknown--or only trip her up? As the calendar runs down to the 31st, Izzy will have to use all of her wits and work with her new friends to save Vicky and uncover the mystery of the legendary Horseman of Sleepy Hollow--before it's too late. Writer Shannon Watters (Lumberjanes) and debut author Branden Boyer-White are joined by artist Berenice Nelle (Wanderlicht) in this coming-of-age tale, homage, and a spin-off of the classic Legend of Sleepy Hollow and everyone's favorite headless specter"--OCLC.

    Gr 9 Up—Izzy Crane is new to Sleepy Hollow and quickly gets thrust into the whirlwind of Halloween traditions that honor the history of the town (as depicted in Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow). Victoria Van Tassel, a descendant of Katrina Van Tassel from the legend, is at the forefront of the events and reenactments leading up to Halloween, despite the danger it presents. Izzy's romantic interest in Vicky leads her to offer tutoring services, and the two explore their chemistry while working through math problems. When Vicky is threatened by the true immortal villain just days before Halloween, Izzy and fellow student Croc (who also has feelings for Vicky) team up with the Headless Horseman in an attempt to save the day. This modern-day retelling of the Headless Horseman brings new twists to the legend while offering a fresh set of diverse characters and 21st-century references. The illustrations and dialogue, coupled with the strong character development, bring the personalities to life and offer relatable situations for all readers. While younger readers may find interest in the graphic novel, romantic imagery of sexual tension may keep this title more relevant for young adult readers. VERDICT Fans of "Lumberjanes" series and similar graphic novels will enjoy this spooky title.—Angie Jameson
