    A stunningly imagined, action-packed fantasy adventure
    for fans of Nevermoor, Neverwhere and Mortal
    Engines, from bestselling and award-winning author Patrice
    Lawrence.
    "A beautifully written book, bristling with magic, set
    in an ancient London filled with dragons, ghosts, water spirits,
    and a mysterious, creeping sleeping-sickness that must be fought
    by the brave young heroes. I loved it." Cressida Cowell, Children's
    Laureate & author of How to Train Your Dragon



    Step into a London lit up by the 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. What if the
    Elements could slow down this new world... or stop it all together?



    The revenge-fuelled Shepherdess, who moves between the everyday
    and the supernatural London worlds, is the perfect weapon.
    She brings a sleeping sickness down on the city with
    the destruction of society in her sights.


    Marisee and Robert 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 a whole host of
    other fantastical creatures in their mission to
    stop the Shepherdess and prevent London slumbering for all eternity...






    Big, bold, future classic storytelling for a new generation.


    A London where magic sparks just beneath the surface - this book
    is set to ignite young imaginations.

    The page-turning, empowering, heart-racing first book in a major
    new series.

    plot. I want to read more!" -Bali Rai, author of
    Mohinder's War


    "The Elemental Detectives is a rip roaring magical adventure...
    Patrice Lawrence has done a marvellous job of building an
    imaginative and creative mythology which lurks just under the city
    streets." Catherine Johnson, author of Freedom

    immersive fantasy adventure." - L. Norry,
