Middle (8-12 years)

The new middle-grade fantasy that will make you believe in magic!

When Arthur and Rose were little, they were heroes in the Land of Roar, an imaginary world that they found by climbing through the folding bed in their grandad's attic. Roar was filled with things they loved - dragons, mermaids, ninja wizards and adventure - as well as things that scared them (including a very creepy scarecrow. . .) Now the twins are eleven, Roar is just a memory. But when they help Grandad clean out the attic, Arthur is horrified as Grandad is pulled into the folding bed and vanishes. Is he playing a joke? Or is Roar . . . real?

The Land of Roar is reminiscent of Peter Pan, The Neverending Story and Jumanji - perfect for readers of Nevermoor and Wizards of Once.

Staff notes: When they were younger, Rose and Arthur used to escape to The Land of Roar through the fold-out bed in Grandad's attic all the time. There were castles in the middle of rough seas; dragons; mouse-fairies; wizard-ninjas; and mermaid-witches in The Land of Roar. But now Rose and Arthur are eleven and too old for such games. Until one day Grandad crawls under the fold-out bed and ... vanishes. Is The Land of Roar real after all? — Charlotte
