Mercy

Fourteen-year-old Haley is struggling to cope. She s got a new stepmom and baby brother. Her cousin Jake is dying from a terminal illness. Her grades are slipping. And the boy she likes is dating her best friend. But all that s nothing compared to what she uncovers when she digs deep into her family history for a school project. Now she s got a blood-stained glove, eerie messages on the TV screen, and ghostly images on her camera. Just what or who has Haley unearthed? Haley must overcome her own doubts and confront a vampire in order to save herself and her family. Inspired by a true New England story, Mercy is accomplished children's author Sarah L. Thomson's first book for Islandport Press.
