Faber & Faber was founded nearly a century ago, in 1929. Read about our long publishing history in a decade-by-decade account. Mad Scientist: Why do scientists always get a bad press? Why is Asa the hero? Why not Benjamin Tooth the alchemist? Just once, I'd like to read a book where a scientist doesn't make a mistake and cause a plague, or breed a herd of man eating dinosaurs, or blow the world up. Just once, I'd like the scientist to be the hero and save the day. Just the other day, for example, I was on a beach and spotted a venomous snake. But because I was a scientist, I was able to identify the snake and alert everyone. Just think, if I hadn't been there... While looking through books, he finds one about a madman called Benjamin Tooth who said he saw sprites. It also tells him about a trunk and a lost key.

Asa will find some answers to these questions when investigating these sprites. But first he has to research the eccentric Benjamin Tooth, an eighteenth-century antiquary locally notorious for his flights of fancy, who has reputedly left some documents to the town which may or may not reside in the local library. It's only just a matter of Asa somehow finding the key... I can relate to thrill of finding new species as I'm a nature enthusiast and go on sorties for birding and herping frequently. Here a small boy goes on an adventure to find extremely elusive creatures. The ending of the nemesis was well executed and heart-warming. Wish there was aftermath to boys adventure after final chapter, like end-credit scenes in marvel movies.

MacKenzie Crook Press Reviews

After a huge storm, Asa Brown finds something strange in his garden pond. It looks and moves a bit like a dragonfly, but on closer inspection Asa sees it is something much more extraordinary: a creature he had read about in books, but didn't believe they actually existed!
