The Mansion Princess

When seventeen-year-old Matt Coleman and his bandmates start taking the long way home from practice, they discover something that turns their ordinary small-town routine into an obsession: a mysterious girl who sits in the third-floor window of Burlington's most imposing mansion. She never leaves, never goes to school, never appears anywhere else-existing only as a haunting silhouette behind glass.
As Matt finds himself increasingly drawn to the enigmatic "Mansion Princess," simple questions multiply into consuming mysteries. Who is she? Why is she confined to that tower-like room? And does she notice the boy who slows his steps every time he passes beneath her window?
In a life of baseball games, band practice, and the comfortable predictability of suburban Burlington, the girl in the window represents everything Matt didn't know he was searching for-mystery, beauty, and the possibility that ordinary lives can hold extraordinary secrets.
