Extreme fog has derailed this family’s Christmas Eve visit to Nana and Papa’s, but the narrator is determined to get there. Though tying a flashlight to the dog’s head fails, more lights, and a few luminous reindeer (not just their noses), help them arrive safely, with an epic story. Stylized, swirling fog dominates dramatic exterior illustrations and influences details in inviting interior spreads in this engaging take on the perils and wonders of the season’s weather.

From the ">November/December 2024 issue of The Horn Book Magazine.
