Y4JN: The Land of Roar

by Jenny McLachlan

Can you remember making up your own magical worlds when you were a child? Imagine if it wasn’t made up after all. Rose and Arthur’s childhood land “Roar” is full of magic but also full of fear. 

After Grandad has been snatched by Croaky, the children are worried they will never get him back. Bravely, they set off on their adventure to their forgotten world and the magic comes to life.

Faith:“We are only half way through this book and I’m hooked. I need to find out who has Grandad, where he is, if he’s okay. I have so many questions”.

Shayne:“The author Jenny McLachlan made me want to go in that camp bed and visit Roar myself. What a magical world it sounds!”

Menaal: “Not many people believe Arthur about his world Roar but I believed him as soon as he said it!”
