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

Product Information

As I’ve had it for a while, I have a lovely review from one of the children in my class: ‘I have just read The Land of Roar and I love the storyline. Elliot's mum is ill and his home is under threat, but a shooting star crashes to earth and changes his life forever. Arthur muss man einfach mögen, er hat eine tolle Art und wächst innerhalb der Geschichte über sich hinaus.

Distant memories of the Land of Roar, an imaginary world filled with dragons, ninjas and unicorns, flicker through the minds of twins, Rose and Arthur, as they clear their grandad’s attic. The importance of holding on to your childhood imagination and creativity features fairly prominently as a theme, making it great for children at the end of primary school. Eigentlich ist das ja gar nicht unrealistisch, aber manchmal tat es mir richtig im Herzen weh, wenn sie sich über ihn lustig gemacht hat.With the help of a kid-wizard named Win, dragons, a group of feisty girls, and eventually Rose, they hatch a plan to defeat the wicked Crowky and get their grandfather back. Soon I had planned and started lots of different stories, but they were all abandoned and shoved to the back of a drawer. Nur weil man ein bestimmtes Alter erreicht hat, muss das nicht bedeuten, dass man sich von allem, was man als Kind geliebt hat, verabschieden muss.

Everything is fine, but when giant sinkholes start appearing and Roar disappearing, what will happen? Die Welt Arro mit ihren verschiedenen wunderschönen und auch düsteren Orten, all die lustigen und kreativen Bezeichnungen, die ganzen Wesen – das hat dieses Buch wirklich einzigartig gemacht.Vlad picks up speed and I pull myself on to his back as flames and smoke and Crowky’s cries of rage chase after us.
