A fun read as we head into fall and the Halloween season. ( ) It's October and Izzy Crane has just moved with her parents to Sleepy Hollow where the residents of the village lean HARD into the Legend. Izzy is less than enthused by all the headless horseman love until she meets Vicky Van Tassel who is involved in every one of Sleepy Hollow's events. However, Izzy and Vicky's blossoming relationship is complicated by a curse on the Van Tassel family that threatens Vicky's life. This graphic novel is a fun riff on the elements of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, while also encompassing an adorable queer romance and plenty of humour. The art is gorgeous and, as I'd expect from one of the co-creators of Lumberjanes, the story is sweet and funny with just a dash of spooky. Hollow would be a fantastic Halloween read. Recommended. Absolutely loved this modern day retelling of The Headless Horseman. Lots of historical background brought into it, along with a LOT of humor. Izzy Crane moves back to her mom’s home town and meets Vicky, a descendent of the Van Tassel’s and Croc, a goofy jock who offers up a lot of humor. A great twist on the story, including a sweet love connection between Izzy and Vicky. This is a perfect book to read as the Halloween season is upon us! Great addition to the library collection. This is a really fun Legend of Sleepy Hollow retelling (or reimagining?) where we follow the descendants of some of the people in the original story (which actually happened). The art was a lot of fun, and the characters were wonderfully diverse (variety of non-white characters, including a Latine MC; side character who uses mobility aids, queer MC and sapphic relationship, etc.) without the diversity seeming at all out of place. It's a really great atmospheric read perfect for the spooky season! sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

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. New York Times-bestselling 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.
