Twelve-year-old Tom Friday was never meant to be a museum-guarding, artefact-finding, super-brave explorer. But when he meets new friend Lisha outside the Natural History Museum, he gets embroiled in an adventure to protect and retrieve powerful mythical objects. The Questers Agency run a network of international agents tasked with locating and safeguarding treasures from around the world. And Lisha is determined to be the youngest ever agent, but first she'll need to prove her worth. That's where Tom comes in. Tom is a super-recogniser, someone with the ability to pick out people from a crowd after just a quick glance. Together Lisha is sure they can find the key to the mythical Box of Locks, before it falls into the wrong hands.
