The Girl in the Third Window
New Orleans, 1833.
Violet Bell has spent years learning how to be quiet. How to smile when expected. How to hide the parts of herself other people find strange.
When her family leaves Philadelphia, Violet sees a chance to become someone else. But their French Quarter house on Chartres Street knows exactly who she is.
Lavender drifts from a locked attic room. Words appear in Violet's sketchbook in a hand that is not hers. Behind the third dormer window waits a fever-eyed girl who moves through mirrors, speaks through the walls, and turns silence into a trap.
Then a stranger in a white hat begins circling the house.
He tests the gates. He counts the windows. Each night, he comes closer.
The ghost upstairs tries to warn Violet, but her warnings come with rules, and her protection has a price. She knows why the stranger has come. She knows what happened inside the sealed attic room. And she refuses to tell Violet everything.
To keep her brother safe, Violet must uncover the house's secrets before the man in the white hat finds his way inside. But the closer Violet comes to the truth, the harder it becomes to know whom she can trust: the living man outside the gates, or the dead girl watching from the third window.
A haunting YA gothic thriller about family secrets, hidden identities, and a house that sees through every disguise.
