'A writer of comic genius - he has something of Roald Dahl's magic,
but more heart' - Sunday Telegraph ‘Maybe you don’t believe me.
Maybe you don’t believe in magic. I bet you will by the time
you’ve heard what happened to us.’ Cousins Middy and Nathan
love magic. The on-stage, cape-swirling, bunny-out-of-a-hat kind.
For Middy, it’s all about patience and practice. She uses magic
skills to help her out of tricky situations. Nathan is a show-off
and a total danger magnet, he is drawn to the sensation, spectacle
and audience. So when the famous Blackpool Tower dramatically
vanishes the night of the Grand Lights Switch-On, showman Nathan
announces live on TV that they will magic it back home. With a
stick of rock, a spangly cape, and a bit of misdirection, they end
up lost in Las Vegas, home to the grand master of illusion,
Perplexion, ‘Legend of Magic’. Full of tricks, twists and
deceptions, the delightful Nathan and Middy will keep you guessing
until the very end. Praise for Noah's Gold: 'Sparkly, witty,
enticing storytelling . . . It's perfect' Hilary McKay

The first in a new children’s fantasy adventure series, full of
imagination, humour and heart, and with echoes of Peter Pan, The
Chronicles of Narnia, The Neverending Story and Jumanji. The Land of
Roar is perfect for children aged 8 to 12, and can sit on their
bookshelf next to Nevermoor, Wizards of Once and How to Train Your
Dragon. Readers can bring their fantasy world to life and meet dragons,
unicorns, mermaids and more in this beautifully illustrated children’s
book.
Believing is just the beginning . . .
When Arthur and Rose were little, they were heroes in the Land of Roar,
an imaginary world that they found by climbing through the folding bed
in their grandad’s attic. Roar was filled with things they loved –
dragons, mermaids, ninja wizards and adventure – as well as things that
scared them (including a very creepy scarecrow. . .)
Now the twins are eleven, Roar is just a memory. But when they help
Grandad clean out the attic, Arthur is horrified as Grandad is pulled
into the folding bed and vanishes. Is he playing a joke? Or is Roar . .
. real?
'This funny, captivating story is filled with the painful pangs of
growing up and the transporting qualities of imagination' Guardian
'A vividly imagined adventure, [...] full of heart, humour and a
terrifying villain' Fiona Noble, The Bookseller
‘This is proof, not that it’s needed, that Jenny McLachlan is a writer
of enormous heart and versatility. I’m a really big fan’ Phil Earle,
award-winning author of Being Billy and co-author of Get Me Out of
Here! with Andy McNab
‘Roar is an exhilarating, hilarious, vividly drawn tribute to the power
of the childhood imagination, the love of family and the magic we risk
losing as we grow up. If you plan to visit one new place in 2019, make
it Roar’ Sarah Driver, author of The Huntress trilogy
