Summary
The first in a 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 join Nevermoor, Wizards of Once and How to Train Your Dragon in the audio library. Listeners can bring their fantasy world to life and meet dragons, unicorns, mermaids and more in this 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?

'A vividly imagined adventure...full of heart, humour and a terrifying villain.' Fiona Noble, The Bookseller
