Until now I only knew the series and film about Sleepy Hollow and the Headless Horseman. The book is a perfect addition.
Bente lives with her grandparents. Her grandmother would prefer her to grow up as a noble lady, but that’s surely not what Bente has in mind. She is completely fascinated by her grandfather. Furthermore, she much prefers playing in the woods and having adventures rather than learning how to sew or sing.
After discovering the headless boy Cristofel, Bente must learn what really lies behind the scary stories of Sleepy Hollow.
The book is truly fantastically written. It’s easy to immerse oneself in the characters and the story. It’s consistently exciting and comes highly recommended!
Not at all sleepy
