I loved it.\"?Cressida Cowell, Children's Laureate      \u0026amp; author of?How to Train Your Dragon      A stunningly imagined, action-packed fantasy adventure      for fans of Nevermoor, Neverwhere and Mortal      Engines, from bestselling and award-winning author Patrice      Lawrence.         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.               ?      More praise for Elemental Detectives:      \"Breathtaking, captivating, and magical. ...
