The Land of Roar: Book 1 (The Land of Roar series)

Product Information

The Land of Roar is a fun-filled adventure book for middle-graders set in a magical world filled with mystical creatures, some good, some evil. The residents of Roar have been waiting for the twins to return to the land as Crowky the Magpie has taken over and the world is being destroyed. A rip-roaring, island-hopping adventure - and unforgettable ecological fable - from the award-winning author of Wildspark and Brightstorm. Doch jetzt sind Rose und Arthur 11 und nicht nur Roses Handy hat die Beiden entzweit. Alles scheint nicht mehr richtig und Arthur fühlt, dass er seine beste Freundin verloren hat. Daran ändert auch Opas Vorschlag nichts, den Dachboden mal gründlich auszumisten. Nicht mal Arthur glaubt daran, dass Arro tatsächlich mal existiert haben könnte… bis sein Opa plötzlich in der vergammelten Gästebett-Matratze verschwindet!

PERFECT FOR: Curriculum objectives, comprehension questions and extra activities including mermaids and ninja wizards, drama and role play, diary writing, creating sensory poems, designing and writing about magical lands, learning about world-building and the fantasy genre, and more In the third mysterious tale of Eerie-on-Sea, it's almost Ghastly Night, and the Shadowghast—an ancient spirit in a lantern—lurks in wait for the power to enslave the town. I have always loved reading and I studied English at university just so that I could read a bit more. Next I found my way into secondary teaching and discovered that I loved it too: I got to read more books, show off and hang out with very funny teenagers. What a great job! This funny, captivating story is filled with the painful pangs of growing up and the transporting qualities of imagination' Guardian year old twins Rose and Arthur have grown up spending holidays with their fun loving granddad, but as they have grown older they have started to grow apart. Arthur still wants to play imaginative games whilst Rose would rather be on her phone, now in the final summer holidays before starting secondary school their relationship and imaginations are about to be tested.The descriptions of the characters are vague enough so that any child can picture themselves in the story, which I love. When I did NOT love was the tiny font size in this book. Open the door to a spellbinding world where the wilderness is alive and a deep magic rises from the earth itself . . .

En «The Land of Roar» conoceremos a Arthur y a Rose, dos hermanos de once años que van a pasar las vacaciones a casa de su abuelo. Es en uno de esos días que recuerdan que cuando eran pequeños solían jugar a un juego llamado Roar, un mundo mágico imaginario creado por ellos pero que finalmente resulta ser real. Rose es reticente a seguir jugando a juegos infantiles y poco a poco deja de lado a su hermano.

Year 5/6/7: Whole Class Reading - Land of Roar - 20 LESSONS/ COMPLETE UNIT - SATS summary/retrieval/inference teaching/activities So glad I decided to get this book. Fun, adventure, magic, dragons, a bad guy, humour and of course, the absolute best part, the magical alternate fantasy world! Children engage with the of Land of Roar while learning about summary/retrieval/inference/explanation skills. As I’ve mentioned above, this book would be great for a younger class because of the fantasy elements and accessibility, and yet would still fit in brilliantly with an older class, meaning it’ll likely find itself being passed between many children. Thankfully, Egmont put a great deal of effort into printing The Land of Roar properly; the book feels solidly built and should hold up well in a classroom. A pesar de ser una novela middle grade y por lo tanto, dirigida a un público infantil, contiene varios momentos emotivos y centrados en la idea de seguir creyendo en la magia a pesar de que la niñez se nos escurra entre las manos. Un buen mensaje de unión, de amor y amistad acompañado de unas ilustraciones y una edición formidables.

A middle-grade fantasy that will make you believe in magic! Arthur and Rose enter the imaginary world, the 'Land of Roar', by climbing through the folding bed in their grandad’s attic. The Land of Roar Leider wird es für den Opa dann aber ziemlich abenteuerlich, denn er wird von Scheuch entführt, einer Vogelscheuche mit Rabenflügeln. Was nebenbei erwähnt, echt gruselig ist. Stellt euch das mal bildlich vor, also ich habe mich da manchmal echt ein bisschen gegruselt. Und ich glaube, junge Leser ab 9 Jahren, haben da bestimmt ihren Spaß mit. 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. . .) Four kids meet at an airport for one unforgettable night in this middle-grade novel by four bestselling and award-winning authorsRoar is an exhilarating, hilarious, vividly drawn tribute to the power of the childhood imagination, the love of family and the magic we risk losing as we grow up. If you plan to visit one new place in 2019, make it Roar' Sarah Driver, author of The Huntress trilogy Twins Arthur and Rose loved staying with Grandad and would spend days in the Land of Roar where dragons, mermaids and ninja wizards kept them safe from the sinister scarecrow, Crowky. Rose ist auf jeden Fall dieser Meinung, aber Arthur, er hat Arro noch nicht ganz vergessen. Und da wäre noch der Opa der beiden, auch er hat sich seine Phantasie erhalten und glaubt noch an Magie. Was auch eine ganz tolle Botschaft in dem Buch ist. Egal wie alt du bist, erhalte dir deinen glauben an Magie. Du bist nie zu Alt für ein bisschen Drachenfeuer und Einhörner.
