What to expect
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.
