Skye can't wait to show Farida and Liam the secret she discovered this summer - that she can travel in time through Room 14 at her family's hotel. Soon the three friends try it together, but there's nothing there when they arrive! It turns out everything is just hidden, as they've been transported back to the Great Smog of London in 1952. What's more, a bus has just crashed, the driver is stuck and no emergency services can get there. Can Skye and her friends help?
