Alchemist's Son series.
Sebastian, an alchemist's son revived after several centuries of hibernation, joins forces with modern British twins Pip and Tim to fight an infernal foe who has taken the form of their chemistry teacher. It's the playful banter of the three main characters--not the preposterous plot--that gives this sequel to Doctor Illuminatus its energy.

While camping with their families in England's West Country, Pati and Simon hear rumors about a panther living on the moors. Intrigued, the budding teenage naturalists decide to track it. Considerable scientific information is woven into the narrative, and though their pursuit is conveniently speedy and fruitful, these informed, capable kids' adventure will appeal to naturalists who like an energetic read.
