Hollow
by Branden Boyer-White, Shannon Watters
*Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy in exchange for an honest review*
Hollow follows 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.
I loved this. Not only is there an LGBTQ+ rep (sapphic couple), but there is also disability rep, which I wasn't expecting! I loved this story, and I loved the art style.
I love Lumberjanes, and this gives vibes similar to that! This is a perfect story for Halloween, and I can't wait to see people enjoy this graphic novel like I did!
