Agency series: It's not easy growing up in the 1920s. While

engineering, her shy twin Agatha buries her nose in books and
dreams of being a writer. The pair couldn't be more different. But
when a scientific discovery goes missing, they find that together
they make a winning combination and Christie and Agatha's Detective
Agency is born. Join the twin detectives as they solve thrilling
mysteries all over the world!

It was a very fine day, until something tried to eat him. A boy
called Christopher is visiting his reclusive grandfather when he
witnesses an avalanche of mythical creatures come tearing down the
hill. This is how Christopher learns that his grandfather is the
guardian of one of the ways between the non-magical world and a
place called the Archipelago, a cluster of magical islands where
all the creatures we tell of in myth live and breed and thrive
alongside humans. They have been protected from being discovered
for thousands of years; now, terrifyingly, the protection has worn
thin, and creatures are breaking through. Then a girl, Mal, appears
in Christopher’s world. She is in possession of a flying coat, is
being pursued by a killer and is herself in pursuit of a baby
griffin. Mal, Christopher and the griffin embark on an urgent quest
across the wild splendour of the Archipelago, where sphinxes hold
secrets and centaurs do murder, to find the truth – with
unimaginable consequences for both their worlds. Together the two
must face the problem of power, and of knowledge, and of what love
demands of us.
