Brom not only accepts Ben but encourages it! He praises Ben and never wants Ben to be someone they aren’t. She is a stubborn and fierce woman, but she loves with all her soul. Ben knows that Katrina would sacrifice herself for Ben. While Ben has a difficult relationship with Katrina. I could cry at the depth of the relationships displayed. It is difficult for those now, let alone post-Revolutionary War times. Ben has the courage to stand up for themself, especially to family. Raised a girl, but always felt like a boy. But the ending is anything but predictable! I loved all the twists and turns! However, my favorite aspect of this book is Ben discovering who they are. I love how it is still a mystery with what happened to Ichabod Crane and how Ben tries to figure it out. Trigger Warnings: Child Death, Murder, Gruesome Scenes, Abuse, Assault. One thing is for sure, she knows how to make a dark story…even darker. It is wonderful to visit Sleepy Hollow again! And Christina Henry is the perfect author to take us there! I loved The Girl in Red, The Mermaid, and The Ghost Tree. Sometimes terrible things happen without justification, or simply because someone wants them to happen.” Horseman “There are many things you don’t understand and couldn’t beginto.

Is the Headless Horseman back? Or is it something more sinister? Ben stumbles across the headless body of a boy in the woods. However, something unusual is happening in Sleepy Hollow. Brom hates the village stories, he only did it to scare off Ichabod Crane. Her parents died when she was just a baby and has been raised by her grandparents. Katrina would love nothing more if Ben would start acting like a lady, but Ben wants to be just like her grandfather who is her favorite person in the whole world. Ben’s grandparents are Katrina Van Tassell and THE Brom Bones. Yes, everyone knows the stories of the Headless Horseman and Ichabod Crane. Ben Van Brunt is 14 years old and loves Sleepy Hollow and playing in the woods.

But there is no better way to kick off the Fall season than with a Sleepy Hollow retelling. Horseman by Christina Henry is a tale about Sleepy Hollow, but not the way we know it. Thank you, Christina Henry, Berkley Books, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book! It releases on September 28th! It carries our history, all the blood that came before us…” Horseman
