Wild Boy and Clarissa have cracked a number of cases under the guidance of their mentor, Marcus-member of a secret league of crime-solving Gentlemen. But in the eyes of a hostile public, the friends remain outlaws.
As winter freezes London, a new terror grips the streets: a poisoner leaves victims deranged with fear before exacting grim death. And Marcus is among the first to fall. Can the former sideshow freak and the feisty acrobat work on their own to expose a criminal mastermind, and find a cure, before all is lost?
In their second riveting mystery-adventure, Wild Boy and Clarissa race from rotten slums to royal palaces to save their city-and clear their names.
Snatched up by an unscrupulous and abusive showman, Wild Boy, covered in hair from head to toe, becomes a sideshow freak. Isolated from other children and wickedly abused by the cruel master who bought him, Wild Boy becomes an avid observer, developing Sherlock Holmes–like deductive skills. Although he is tormented and insulted, kicked and spat at, his quick mind takes in everything he sees. When a murder occurs at the fair, Wild Boy is hastily accused. Can he use his powers of deduction to save himself? And will the talented and spunky young acrobat Clarissa be with him — or against him? Listeners will be swept along by the cinematic pace, immersed in the vivid historical setting, and gripped by suspense as they wait to find out if a better fate could possibly await someone so very different.
Brother and sister dragonology students Daniel and Beatrice Cook are looking forward to returning to their studies with Dr. Ernest Drake and Erasmus, their dragon tutor. But when they discover that the evil dragonologist Alexandra Gorynytchka is searching for the fearsome Hammer of the Dragons - an ancient weapon that can kill hundreds of dragons in a single stroke - Dr. Drake and the children pursue her all the way to the Lost Island of the Dragons, where she is amassing an army of enslaved dragons. There they learn of the Dragon Prophecy, according to which the return of the Hammer of the Dragons can be stopped only by two children "wise beyond their years in the ways of dragons."

If Dragonsbane is resurfacing, then no dragons in Britain are safe! When Torcher is kidnapped, Daniel and Beatrice are convinced that Dragonsbane is behind it, and, with the help of the Guardian Dragon's apprentice ;- ;an adolescent half-European, half-frost dragon named Erasmus ;- ;they race to bring Torcher home before it's too late.

But that was before he inherited twenty billion pounds, a Caribbean island, a yacht, and three estates from a great-aunt he never knew. With this fortune, however, comes a letter.

Along with his friends Ruby and Sam, Gerald embarks on a journey that will lead him from the British Museum to dodgy social clubs for the disgustingly rich to mansions in the English countryside to secret places far underground. Who was Geraldine Archer? And what secrets was she hiding? Unless Gerald, Sam, and Ruby can find out before the killer does, they may be next.
