This is a really imaginative take on middle-grade fantasy, from the legendary Patrice Lawrence, with elemental magic, mystery, parallel worlds, fantastical creatures and vengeful leaders, which we recommend to all readers aged 8+.
In this world, London is lit up by Elemental spirits: the fiery Dragons, the airy Fumis, the watery Chads and the
earthbound Magogs. But humans have been causing chaos for centuries, trampling through the landscape trailing noise, mess and pollution. In each book, the world's fate is in Marisee and Robert's hands: they are the Elemental Detectives chasing the clues to avoid catastrophe: they must face the ghosts of Hyde Park, the monstrous coiled snake of the Serpentine, and so many more fantastical creatures to keep London safe.
A stunningly imagined, action-packed fantasy adventure for fans of Nevermoor, Greenwild and Mortal Engines, from bestselling and award-winning author Patrice Lawrence.
