The story was amazing as well. And look at that cover! So perfect for the book. I love the green tint over everything. The second book is all blue and the third is red.
Quick non-spoilery summary:
George is just trying to get away from the teacher he doesn't like and the other kids that just don't get him, but he never meant to break anything. Only moments after he accidentally snaps the stone dragon's head off outside the Natural History Museum a pterodactyl crawls off the building and tries to attack him.
What a way to find out that he's fallen through to another layer of reality in London and that all the stone and metal statues around London have the capacity to wander from their plinths. And he's managed to anger the stone at the heart of London and he only has 24 hours to make penance for his crime. He runs into a statue of a world war I soldier called the Gunner and a strange girl with a rather scary ability. Can he complete his mission in time? And what will he have to sacrifice in order to free himself from the new life he's tumbled into?
It's kind of a cross between Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, and His Dark Materials, but with a delightful charm all its own. If you're a fantasy fan, you'll love this book!

Ooooh. It looks AMAZINGG but also as soon as I finished the first summary paragraph I was HOOKED I guess. Immediately I thought it a little Percy Jackson like which is AWESOME because I love that :)
Mmmm! I will look out for it!
I have never heard of this and it sounds like I'd LOVE it! Thank you! I notice your countdown to Shatter Me too, I can't WAIT!
I do love that cover. It's been on my list forever. I'll pick it up one day. :D
