The Land of Roar
Finally – a book to make you believe in magic! When Arthur and Rose were little, they played at being heroes in the Land of Roar: an imaginary world you could get to by climbing through the folding bed in Grandad’s attic. Roar had dragons, mermaids and ninja wizards. But it had scary things too, including a very creepy scarecrow! Now the twins are eleven. Roar is just a memory. That is, until they help Grandad to clean out the attic. To Arthur’s horror, Grandad is pulled into the folding bed – where he vanishes. Is it a prank? Or could Roar be REAL ?

About two twins who used to play a make-believe game called Roar. They had forgotten all about Roar until one of them, Arthur, realises Roar is Real. I would recommend this to 7-10 year-olds. Love, LOve, LOVED It!
