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?
