Every year on Halloween in Sleepy
Hollow, a group of teens descended and chosen by their Pniese ancestors,
protects the world from supernatural creatures. This Halloween, this group of 7
teens have their work cut out for them. One greedy farmer has gotten his hands
on a Unicorn and is trying to sell it to the highest bidder. A giant has
entered the human world and is eating pixies. The worst, however, is Bloody
Mary. In life Bloody Mary had discovered a black magic book that would
transform her body into her ideal image of beauty, but at price: her sanity.
Killed in a car accident, but not completely dead, Jessey Sassacus’ grandmother
had used an ancient spell to capture her in a mirror. Only on Halloween could
she be released by someone uttering her name 5 times. Too bad this Halloween,
Jessey lent the mirror to a friend and now the girl is terrorizing and holding
hostage a Halloween party. If the Pniese don’t stop her, all the girls will
die. Can the 7 teens recapture Bloody Mary?
This intense horror novel is
well-developed and engaging. The characters are likable and entertaining.
Readers who like horror, Halloween stories, and suspense will enjoy reading this
book. MS, HS. ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Kira M, Youth Services Librarian, WHI Public
