Summary
Step into a world where magic sparks beneath the surface...
Elemental spirits – the fiery Dragons, the airy Fumis, the watery Chads and the earthbound Magogs – have existed peacefully alongside humans for hundreds of years. Until today...
A sleeping sickness hangs heavy in the air and monsters stir in dark corners...but who is to blame? Marisee and Robert are the Elemental Detectives chasing clues to avoid catastrophe, facing a riddling dragon, a tentacled plague monster from the deep and the ghosts of Hyde Park in their race-against-time mission to solve the mystery of the millennium.

Critic reviews
"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, international bestselling author of How to Train Your Dragon series)
"Patrice Lawrence is amongst the greatest voices for young people writing today. I'm honoured to be a peer of hers." (Alex Wheatle, author of Cane Warriors)
"BRILLIANT...history and fantasy woven magnificently into a thrilling, magical adventure." (Sophie Anderson, award-winning author of The House with Chicken Legs)
