The Lovereading comment:
When George furiously punches off the head of a stone dragon, he unleashes an ancient power that brings the statues of London to life. Pursued by a pterodactyl released from a frieze, George is hunted through a thrilling adventure full of fabulous creatures that advise, protect and terrify him as he enters their strange and scary world.

Synopsis
Stoneheart by Charlie FletcherDeep in the City something had been woken, so old that people had 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 city 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.
