The Land of Roar

Grandad leaves his attic for Arthur and Rose to tidy. It is littered with games and memories from their earlier childhood years. Yet Rose does not care to remember with Arthur. She’s more interested in her phone and the trendy next-door. neighbour 

What is Arthur to do when Grandad, trusting Arthur’s memories, journeys through the folded camp bed into the twins’ magical Land of Roar? Arthur must follow him, alone, for disbelieving  Rose is headed to shopping at Claire’s. 

Major cracks have altered the landscape of Roar. Furthermore, the mermaids have disappeared, alongside Bad Dragon. Pegasus, mourning the absence of Rose, cannot be appeased by Arthur. Worse still, is the rise of Crowky, Arthur’s fearsome foe, now striking out powerfully from the Crow’s Nest, who has captured Grandad, leaving only hours until he promises to stuff him. 

Can Arthur overcome his fears and the diminishment of ‘The Land of Roar’ to rescue Grandad? Could he offer any compensation or promises to the inhabitants of the land he and Rose created? What of Rose? Will she believe again? 

‘The Land of Roar’ is magical, uplifting, inspiring and delightful. I love the fact that Grandad believes in Roar, and in Arthur. I relish the fact that the children’s creations are their own, rooted in reality, yet in the possibility of their play. 

‘The Land of Roar‘ is an ultimately satisfying title in which Bookwagon delights. We urge you, reader, through the camp bed, into Bookwagon and ‘The Land of Roar’!
