The Land of Roar Synopsis
Everyone remembers their secret imaginary world...but what if you discovered that yours was real?
When Arthur and Rose were little, they were the heroes of Roar, a magical world they invented where the wildest creations of their imaginations roamed. Now that they're eleven, Roar is just a distant memory. But it hasn't forgotten them.
When their grandfather is spirited away into Roar by the villain who still haunts their nightmares, Arthur and Rose must go back to the world they'd almost left behind. And when they get there, they discover that Grandad isn't the only one who needs their help.
This enchanting, action-packed novel is perfect for readers who've always dreamed of exploring Narnia and Neverland.

`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 trilogy
