A girl has a strange encounter on a misty road in Gillian Philip's "Misty;" a boy at war finds himself stepping into the past in Dennis Hamley's "Tunnel;" an ancient wrong needs to be righted in Anne Rooney's "The Hanging Tree;" and a stay in the country isn't quite what it seems in Alex Stewart's "The Waiting Room."
