Remember, this is during a time that men would ask to court young women before they could be seen with them. Secret passion between the two ignites and soon they are sneaking around so they will not be discovered. Soon a hidden relationship begins, a real love is discovered and then this is where things heat up. They try, at first, to deny their interest in one another. I really felt the connection between Katrina and Ichabod and sensed the chemistry there as well. He loves books and music, just as Katrina does and he soon begins to help her with singing lessons. This is what Katrina and Charlotte have and I love that.Ī young schoolmaster comes to town and Katrina is drawn to him. True friends are hard to come by but when you do, you hold on for dear life. Loving them for who they are warts and all, and no judgement. True friendship is being there no matter what, through hurt and pain, and supporting your friend.
This is what true friendship really is and Alyssa captured it perfectly. These two were truly enjoyable together and I picked up on their love for one another as well. The real story to me was the friendship between Katrina and Charlotte. It was a story of hidden and secret love, with a mixture of spooky legend and then sadness.

Remember there are always more than one side of the story and although we got a great story from Washington Irving, this story was just as captivating. I loved hearing Katrina’s side of this tale. The Spellbook of Katrina Van Tassel by Alyssa Palombo was all that I hoped for and more. In the spirit of Halloween and one of my favorite stories as a young child, I was gifted a special book to read.
