Nightmares in the Mist — Leslie McGuire

With the help of Mrs. Murgatroyd's magical paints, a little girl faces and overcomes her fears.

Everywhere Alicia turns; she sees the glowing red eye of an enormous monster coming toward her through a smoky, swirling mist. At first, the monster only came after Alicia at night in her room, but now it might show up anywhere, any time. If only her mom would come home from the hospital! On an outing with her father, brother and sister, Alicia sees the mist and hears the awful roar of the monster. Certain it's coming after her again, she runs away. Soon lost, Alicia follows a tiny, sparkling white light that leads her right to Mrs. Murgatroyd's door. And, with the help of the wise woman's magical paints, Alicia gains the courage to confront the monster and discover the true source of her fears.
