I enjoyed it so much that I am really looking forward to 'RETURN TO ROAR', due next summer (at the time of writing). And Arthur is feeling left out, lonely and worried about his new school.

Oh, my goodness! Once back in The Land of Roar, the story is fast paced with atmospheric description that is suitably scary, at times, but not too extreme, IMO. I wonder if every child has a world like this, only not all of them are lucky enough to find it.

I must admit that I have a real soft spot for Wininja, the wizard-ninja whose ninja powers are a little more advanced than his wizarding powers, but who is just so carefree and full of joie de vivre, not to mention hilarious, and a wonderfully fearless friend. Mads is loving me reading this adventure to her just before going night nights, keep asking me to read the next chapter.

’We don’t play games like that any more. From the back cover inner flap:📝 ‘When twins Arthur and Rose were little, they were heroes in the Land of Roar, the imaginary world they created. ), ‘Tangled Forest’ & ‘(The) Bad Side’. Def recommend this, n being at such an awesome low price also.
The title is embossed in slightly raised, gold coloured lettering that nonchalantly glints in the change of light…drawing you in, to be greeted by the intriguing map that includes ‘a cluster of jelly-shaped islands’ (‘Archie Playgo’(! Joined by Arthur’s best ‘non-real’ friend Wininja and Rose’s dragons, Pickle and Vlad, they must attempt to rescue their Grandad and foil Arthur’s nemesis, who is just the right amount of scary to make him the perfect adversary … revengeful, dark and deliciously evil! This most definitely deserves more than the 5stars maximum. ooOoo‘The LAND of ROAR’ paperback measures around 19.
