The Land of Roar: Book 1 (The Land of Roar series)

Product Information

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?

The remaining characters introduced throughout the book, come from the imaginations of the main characters, and as such, Jenny McLachlan has been able to push the boat out when it comes to their traits and personalities. I won’t say much about them, only that I love Win; his ability to zone out and remain care-free, despite everything going on around at times, reminds me of some of the children in my class. His determination, and the enthusiasm and self-confidence he continually shows despite often failing miserably, is heart-warming. This funny, captivating story is filled with the painful pangs of growing up and the transporting qualities of imagination’ Guardian La acción comienza cuando el abuelo de los dos pequeños desaparece y todo parece indicar que ha logrado traspasar la puerta que da acceso a Roar. Dará pie a que nuestros dos protagonistas vayan a buscarlo y se embarquen en una aventura de lo más entretenida. Estos lares son habitados por todo tipo de seres, desde dragones, unicornios, sirenas, cuervos y espanta pájaros. What better reason for buying a new book lol. Not that people need reasons but this one sounded so good! 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 trilogyWhen 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…)

Twins Arthur and Rose have found as they have gotten older that they are growing apart, Arthur is still quite young and wants to play games and be a child, Rose wants to act like a teenager and has no interest in anything except her phone, which she is on constantly. Arthur und seine Zwillingsschwester Rose verbringen die letzten Ferientage bei ihrem Opa bevor es auf die neue Schule geht. Früher waren diese Tage bei ihrem schrulligen und witzigen Opa die schönsten des Jahres. Die Kinder waren unzertrennlich und haben sich in ihren gemeinsamen Spielen verloren. Besonders toll waren ihre „Ausflüge“ ins Fantasieland Arro, das man nur betreten konnte, wenn man sich zwischen das zugeklappte Gästebett auf dem Dachboden quetschte. 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...)The brother and sister relationship between Rose and Arthur shows the natural ups and downs all siblings go through, and therefore feels realistic and relatable to children reading the book. This is great for children who may themselves be going through a bad patch with their siblings, as it shows that through all their differences exists an unbreakable bond. The familial bond is extended through to their grandad, who also features in the book. As little old man with asthma, keeping the magic of childhood alive and looking after the grandchildren, he reminds me of my own grandad. From the books I’ve read, it seems fairly uncommon to have siblings and a grandparent both feature, as they’re often built around a single child facing ‘the hero’s journey’ alone, and so it was refreshing to read. Arthur is not sure what to make of their game, could it have been a real place they went to or was it all in his imagination? His sister Rose knows it was all made up and refuses to even think about the possibility that it might not have been in their heads, she is more concerned with her new phone and the teenage girl next door. 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.
