Shane Lancaster and his sister Aimee are descendants of Ichabod Crane, the fellow in the Sleepy Hollow story who had a run in with the headless horseman. When they move to Sleepy Hollow from Boston their presence unleashes supernatural forces dormant in Sleepy Hollow. It is up to Shane, Aimee, and her best friend Stasia to uncover the cause of mysterious drownings that are occurring as well as what attacked a group of teens having a party in a cornfield. The Hollow has the feel of a Scooby Doo mystery, with a bunch of normal teens doing detective work to solve a case- but at the end, instead of a man in a rubber mask, they face a true supernatural creature. The unresolved romantic tension between Shane and Stasia also gives the book a touch of Buffy. This is a well-written book that moves along quickly.
The second in a series, it follows The Hollow: Horseman and precedes The Hollow: Mischief. Recommended as a good fit for reluctant readers looking for horror stories and for creature-loving readers.
Contains murders by supernatural creatures.
