Summary

Will Hugo heed the pleas of the fog-shrouded figure at the window and welcome him inside? A spine-tingling ghost story from bestselling author Lucy Strange. 
Folk say the fog plays tricks – that it shapes itself into little hands and frightened faces that press at people’s doors and windows, desperate to come inside. But Hugo is convinced the ghost he has seen at the window is no trick of the fog. The boy’s hollow eyes are haunting him. What would happen if Hugo were to open the door, and let him in? Brace yourselves for a chilling, wintery ghost story … 
Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8. 
This suspense-filled horror story blends the occult with the paranormal and the supernatural, as Hugo becomes a reluctant witness to something that shouldn’t be at the window. A short, historical thriller in childrens fiction for kids and juvenile readers, it’s also ideal for young adult, teen, and teenage fans of eerie tales. 
For fans of Christopher Edge (Fear Files), Katherine Rundell (The Explorer), Kiran Millwood Hargrave (Leila and the Blue Fox), Keith Robinson (Wolf Road), and Michelle Harrison (Twice Upon a Time).
