Stone Heart
By Charlie Fletcher
Deep in the city of London something had been woken, and all because George has broken a small dragon carving whilst visiting the Natural History Museum. This sets off a series off events involving gargoyles and statues that both come alive…
Stone Heart is wonderfully and vividly written and has one of the best baddies [The Grid Man] created for a children’s book in ages. It is fast-paced, with lots of twists and turns along the way to keep you guessing and a set of characters you really want to know more about. If you know London, next time you visit you may see it in a different light…
The adventures continue in the sequel Iron Hand which is available in paperback now.
