RETURN TO ROAR BOOK 2 J- ENNY MCLACHLAN

The magical new book in the bestselling middle‑grade fantasy adventure series, **The Land of Roar**. A series that celebrates the power of imagination and finding the greatest adventures in the most ordinary of places – perfect for children aged 8‑10 and upwards, and fans of *Narnia*, *Jumanji* and *How to Train Your Dragon*. Featuring breathtaking illustrations throughout by Ben Mantle and stunning fold‑out cover artwork.

Twins Arthur and Rose can’t wait to go back to Roar, the fantasy world they reach through their granddad’s attic. Roar is a land of dragons, mermaids, unicorns, ninja wizards and where anything they imagine can be real. But when they return there’s no time for exploring, because a message arrives from their scarecrow enemy, Crowky. The Box always contains the things that scare the twins most, and if Crowky gets hold of it, Roar could be in danger. Soon they embark on another thrilling adventure, accompanied by old friends and new faces, seeing parts of Roar they’d almost forgotten. Will they reach the box before Crowky does? And if it opens, what will they see?
