Book Description
for The Land of Roar by Jenny McLachlan and Ben Mantle
From The United States Board on Books for Young People (USBBY)
Growing up, Arthur and Rose shared many adventures in their imaginary Land of Roar. Now that they are in middle school, Rose wants nothing to do with her twin or Roar. When their archnemesis, Crowky, kidnaps their grandfather, Arthur must return to Roar to save him...and a torn-apart land. Reluctantly, Rose follows and together they begin their quest. Facing fears, outsmarting villains, building community, and honest communication are key to success. Can they mend it together? Two titles (Return to Roar and The Battle for Roar) in this delightful trilogy will be available in the United States in summer 2021.
