Piper Van Winkle, A Sleepy Hollow Novel
by Donald Capone

17 year-old Piper is a modern-day Rip Van Winkle—except when she awakens in 2021 she hasn’t aged a day. Can she adjust to a strange new world? Will a desperate Russian spy get his hands on her blood, which he believes is the Fountain of Youth? Can the ghost of author Washington Irving return her to 1996 before it's too late?
