Meanwhile, Eli is on a mission to eradicate every other super-powered person that he can find aside from his sidekick, an enigmatic woman with an unbreakable will.

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

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?

growing up and the transporting qualities of imagination' Guardian

of enormous heart and versatility. I’m a really big fan’ Phil Earle,

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
