Stoneheart (Stoneheart Trilogy, #1)

by Charlie Fletcher

Deep in the City something has been woken, so old that people have been walking past it for centuries without giving it a second look!' When George breaks the dragon's head outside the Natural History Museum he awakes an ancient power. This prehistoric beast, sentry-still for centuries, hunts him down with a terrifying wrath. And this is just the beginning! The taints and spits -- statues with opposing natures -- are warring forces; wreaking deadly havoc on the cities landscape. The World War One gunner offers protection of sorts; and the wisdom of the Sphinx is legendary. But George and his companion Edie are trapped in a world of danger. And worse -- they are quite alone. The rest of London is oblivious to their plight. This epic adventure exposes forces long-dormant in the fabric of London. After entering its richly original and breathtaking world, the city streets and skyline will never again seem the same!

George breaks a dragon carving from the Natural History Museum and suddenly he's plunged into a world of the statues of London at war with each other and a strange man who walks around the city. It's interesting and the pace is breakneck throughout. I like how George grows and how his relationship with Edie grows and I'm curious about what happens next.
