mmegaeraI think it's called Fog Island, but I'm not sure. Don't know the author. It was one of those Scholastic Press books I inherited from my sisters when I was a kid. Our copy is long gone now.
Set in Canada's Maritimes, contemporary when it was written, probably in the forties or fifties. A little girl wanders down the coast from the village she lives in to discover another village she never knew was there, meets interesting people and has a good time, then goes home, turns twelve years old, decides to go back to the village only to discover there's nothing left but cellar holes, abandoned many years before. Her father tells her that it's a magical place and that no one over twelve can go there and that he went there as a boy, too.
Ring anyone's bell?
