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, spot a man at the beach digging around the rocks using some curious looking tools. On closer inspection, the friends uncover what the man was looking at - a bone set in stone.

Join the Detective gang as they meet a vet and palaeontologist, who will help them discover more about evolution, fossils and scientific research.

Interactive elements:
- Search and find clues in the illustrations
- Help the kids complete the full skeleton by placing the bones in the right place
- Gather crucial information from information panels about palaeontology and fossils
- Match the fossil to the correct animal skeleton
- Help the palaeontologist name the creature

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+.
