Fog Magic
Fog Magic | Julia L. Sauer
3 posts | 5 read | 6 to read
A Newbery Honor Book. Greta had always loved the fog—the soft gray mist that rolled in from the sea and drifted over the village. The fog seemed to have a secret to tell her. Then one day when Greta was walking in the woods and the mist was closing in, she saw the dark outline of a stone house against the spruce trees—a house where only an old cellar hole should have been. Then she saw a surrey come by, carrying a lady dressed in plum-colored silk. The woman beckoned for Greta to join her, and soon Greta found herself launched on an adventure that would take her back to a past that existed only through the magic of the fog. From the Trade Paperback edition.

This vintage children's book has been on my TBR for a while! It's set in rural Nova Scotia village on the foggy Bay of Fundy. I grew up across that bay in New Brunswick. So I have deep affection for fog & believe it is magical. For 10 year old Greta, fog signals an opportunity to slip away to another time. She visits her village as it was a century before and the history of that place. There was a lot I liked!The rooted magic, descriptions of 👇

merelybookish place. Sauer is an American but summered in NS and clearly tried to incorporate local culture. In some ways, it reminded me of Alison Uttley's A Traveller in Time (high praise!) but I also found some of the writing clunky and got bored in sections. But I starred a few passages too. 4w
merelybookish Apparently Rebecca Stead is a fan and I love her tagged book. I think there is something about fantasy that's rooted in a real place that really appeals to me!

A girl who is born with a natural love for the thick fog that frequently covers her village one day discovers the magic it brings with it, and then spends those foggy days in another time and in another village that no longer exists. Very cool little story and well told.

The fog over the Willamette this morning reminds me of Fog Magic, a young reader book that I recently read for background on Nova Scotia in the 19th century. Delightful book, and bittersweet growing up truth.
