Sleepy Hollow Sleepover

Reach for this book when your child is starting to express interest in 'scary' stories but still needs the safety net of logic and friendship to feel secure. It is a perfect bridge for the child who wants to feel brave without being genuinely overwhelmed by horror. The story follows a group of friends who visit the legendary Sleepy Hollow for a sleepover, only to find themselves entangled in a mystery involving the famous Headless Horseman. While the setting leans into the spooky atmosphere of Washington Irving's classic, Ron Roy keeps the tone grounded in teamwork and curiosity. It encourages young readers to look past their initial fears and use their brains to solve problems. It is an excellent choice for kids aged 6 to 10 who are developing their independent reading skills and enjoy the satisfaction of a mystery where the 'supernatural' usually has a clever, human explanation.
