When Grace, Adam, and Ruby get lost in the fog, they stumble into a parallel world where a terrible catastrophe has occurred. A flood has destroyed half the country and the sole survivor is Dave. Grace and her siblings need to find their way home; and will Dave find any hope amongst the wreckage?

In the same style as the Shades 2.0 series, this book tells a fast-paced story but is much shorter than the Shades, allowing for less-able readers to still experience the gripping story but with much simpler language and a larger font. A new addition to the Sharp Shades series, this book isn't a shortened version of one of the Shades, but instead an entirely new story to experience.
