[Select praise for The Headless Horseman of Downers Grove]:

“Many authors give me manuscripts based on Washington Irving's classic. Kyle Sullivan’s is the haunting best I've read! The Headless Horseman of Downers Grove’s terrorizing specters, brazen bullies, and intriguing spells will drive readers to unravel the horror of a deathly mystery. This is a frightfully good tale Washington Irving would delight to read. Middle schools will too!”
