Join a group of four kid detectives and help them find out about STEM while developing problem solving, observation and deduction, and investigating skills.

Our four detectives, Farah, Amelia, Mohammad and Sam, discover a mysterious skull and other bones at the
beach. While on the beach, the gang spot a man digging around some rocks surrounded by curious tools. The man then jumps up with excitement and walks off. The friends discover a piece of what the man was looking: a bone set in stone. As they set out to discover what these two types of bones are, they meet a vet and palaeontologist. The children learn about evolution, fossils, scientific research.

Interactive elements:
Search and find clues in the illustrations
Assist the kids in placing the bones in the right place to complete the full skeleton
Gathering crucial information from information panels about palaeontology and fossils
Compare modern animal skeletons to the fossil to determine what it's most likely to be

Through interactive adventures that combine facts, brain-teasing puzzles and lively illustrations, the books impart STEM knowledge in an original way to inspire a love of the subject. The story in each book will have the reader solving puzzles, finding clues, cracking secret codes and uncovering mysteries.

Perfect for aspiring detectives aged 7+.
