About the book
The worst fog in 20 years rolls in and clouds the seaside village. The boats head back to shore, the sea birds return to their roosts and the people pack up and leave the beach. For three days, everyone waits impatiently for the fog to lift. But the children love it, playing hide and seek on the rocks and getting lost in front of their own cottages.
