A modern teen revisits Sleepy Hollow’s legend

Kat Van Tassel wants distance from Sleepy Hollow’s ghostly past, but receiving the diary of Katrina van Tassel on the Headless Horseman’s two-hundredth anniversary connects her present to an older story. As a new girl challenges Kat’s assumptions about ghosts, the novel brings questions of identity and relationships into its reimagining of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. The diary and anniversary give the past a direct place in Kat’s life, while the mystery of a long-buried secret links the town’s legend to what she stands to protect.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in reimagined fairy tales and folklore.
  • Readers drawn to ghost stories, small-town legends, and mysteries connecting past and present.

Book overview

From the New York Times best-selling author of Disney's Villains series comes a ghostly stand-alone novel that reimagines The Legend of Sleepy Hollow through the eyes of a modern teen.

Kat Van Tassel wants nothing to do with Sleepy Hollow's ghostly history. But when her mother gives her the original Katrina van Tassel's diary on the two-hundredth anniversary of the Headless Horseman's haunting, a new legend begins to take shape, weaving together the past and the present in eerie ways. When a new girl in town opens Kat's eyes to the possibility that ghosts are real, it makes her question who she truly wants to be . . . and be with. Can Kat uncover a two-hundred-year-old secret, and trace its shocking reverberations in her own life, in time to protect what she truly loves?
