Just when they were feeling safe, another laugh joined theirs. An evil laugh. An Angry Laugh. A ghostly laugh.
This book would be a great book to read around Halloween time with older students. I think it would be a fun writing activity to have students create their own spooky legend or spooky tale.
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow was originally written by Washington Irving. This story is a fairytale about a school teacher who hears a story about the ghost of a headless horseman. This story had made-up characters but they are very flat with a quick beginning, middle, and end.
The first born girl of every generation in the Van Tassel family is named Katrina, after the first Katrina who was said to be protected by the headless horseman. When reading the original Katrina‘s diary, Kat see alarming parallels between her life now & Katrina‘s then. of course it all leads to the day of the Harvest Ball & the horseman‘s arrival. Decent bi rep, liked the girls, ex bf sucked, ending left me wanting more but quick read
Finished the tagged book for #lmpbc … Started Love in the Time of Bertie while waiting for school to get out. Dang it‘s cold out there! And windy! 💨 🥶
It‘s here! #lmpbc
@persephone1408 I have the next one ready to mail today or tomorrow.
I‘ve had a lot of fun trying books that might be a little outside what I‘d normally choose. I love these YA Disney reimaginings, though. 🥰
The newest in a long line of Katrina van Tassels finds her own life mirroring that of the first Katrina. Things get even more complicated when a group of boys try to summon a ghost.
This was a cute & spooky YA story with some fun bi representation, with modern & historical parallel storylines. Lots of interesting side characters, but felt very tell instead of show & the ending was really abrupt. It did leave me wanting more. 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
