Somewhere in the Mist
There’s no escaping the spirits of Stony Harbor.
Sophia Keegan is fourteen years old in 1930s Massachusetts. She likes the dark and she craves adventure and freedom from social constraints. But when she meets a ghostly child on a beach and stumbles onto a dangerous bootlegging gang, it isn’t long before she’s fighting to save her family and her sanity.
Now Sophia must protect her family from the deadly gang of rumrunners who will stop at nothing to silence her. And she must uncover the riddle of the ghostly child that haunts her dreams and invades her thoughts before it is too late—before the rumrunners kill her or the ghost drives her to madness.
This book is perfect for fans of Janet Taylor Lisle, Black Duck, Mary Downing Hahn, Wait Till Helen Comes: A Ghost Story, and Richard Peck’s A River Between Us.

About the author
J.W. Elliot
33 books62 followersJames is a twenty-nine-year-old stuck in an older man’s body. He loves to paddle his canoe, shoot his handmade longbows in the woods, make knives, study martial arts, and generally enjoys challenging himself. When not teaching or writing about the real past, he is imagining worlds and histories that might have been, should have been, or may yet be.
James has two homes (though only one house)--the mountains of Idaho and the forests of New England--where he canoes, hikes, camps, rock climbs, and shoots the longbows he makes himself. He lives in Massachusetts with his wife.
James is a professional historian whose published works include two histories of the Inquisition, a documentary history of Columbus's first voyage, a transcription of a colonial era account book from Weymouth, Massachusetts, and a global history of piracy. This means that he is a professional teller of stories, both real and imagined.
James's favorite author is J.R.R. Tolkien, though he will never be able to watch the Peter Jackson Hobbit films again. The first viewing nearly gave him a fit. He loves The Giver and The Book Thief. He has read all the Hunger Games novels, but thinks Katniss should have ended up with Gale. (Sorry Peeta fans.) He enjoys Harry Potter and thinks magic should be real--so long as he owns the Elder Wand.
