Julia L. Sauer, author of FOG MAGIC, sets a whimsical and magical tone in the telling of the story of the young girl, Greta, who is fascinated by and drawn to the fog that often settles over the small fishing village by the sea where she and her family live. While the story tells of spirits and ghosts, it is told in such a way that it would evoke not a bit of fear or fright in the young reader. Rather than an eerie tale, Sauer makes the story one of adventure and mystery.
