Why read it?
2 authors picked The Land of Roar as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
As someone who has always had a somewhat overactive imagination, as soon as I heard the premise of this book – a land created by twins Rose and Arthur that comes to life – I was hooked. The Land of Roar is filled with incredible things – dragons, mermaids, ninja wizards! But it is also filled with their childhood fears, personified by the truly terrifying Crowky. This is a heart-in-your-mouth series with a celebration of childhood adventure at its heart.
From Tamsin's list on strong female protagonists.
The Land of Roar celebrates the power of imagination. It’s a rollicking, mad-cap adventure about eleven-year-old twins who think they are too old for games until…the fantasy world they invented when they were little comes to life. I love this book because every trope of fairies, dragons, mermaids, witches have been twisted and done afresh. It’s clever, funny and warm.
From Abie's list on middle grade books of magic and adventure.
