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

Product Information

While I did enjoy this overall I found it weaker compared to other middle grades I have read recently. Leider wird es für den Opa dann aber ziemlich abenteuerlich, denn er wird von Scheuch entführt, einer Vogelscheuche mit Rabenflügeln. The descriptions of the characters are vague enough so that any child can picture themselves in the story, which I love. 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. The story was interesting though and I liked Roar as a land in itself though perhaps it would have been better if it would have explored the world a little more.

Elliot's mum is ill and his home is under threat, but a shooting star crashes to earth and changes his life forever.The importance of holding on to your childhood imagination and creativity features fairly prominently as a theme, making it great for children at the end of primary school. This is a book that paints vivid images in your mind, and bouncing between multiple locations, each with their own unique settings, it refuses to become dull. Das Cover des Buches ist wirklich toll für ein Kinderbuch, aber was mich zu der Geschichte hat greifen lassen, war der Klappentext.

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. This is such a good book I couldn’t stop reading, Rose and Arthur are the coolest fictional twins I’ve ever come across and I absolutely loved Wininja. Jenny McLachlan also acknowledges through this book, how scary it can be for children as they prepare for secondary school. I enjoyed reading The Land of Roar and it’d be great for a wide range of readers, but in particular I think it’s fantastic for reluctant readers.

However over time Rose and Arthur have begun to forget about Roar, until that is when clearing out their Granddad's loft they find a map of the imaginary land and many of the props that they used in their play.

Und da wäre noch der Opa der beiden, auch er hat sich seine Phantasie erhalten und glaubt noch an Magie. Durch die große Schrift und den leichten Schreibstil ließ sich das Buch aber sehr schnell lesen, sodass ich es in wenigen Stunden am Abend durchlesen konnte. The villain is a scarecrow-crow, hard to visualize but thankfully some detailed illustrations bring him to life. Fun, adventure, magic, dragons, a bad guy, humour and of course, the absolute best part, the magical alternate fantasy world! Nur weil man ein bestimmtes Alter erreicht hat, muss das nicht bedeuten, dass man sich von allem, was man als Kind geliebt hat, verabschieden muss.La trama es entretenida, el nivel de inglés es fácil y hacen de esta, una lectura ideal para intercalar entre otras más densas y adultas. Er hängt noch an seiner Kindheit, an der Fantasie und hat auch ein paar andere Interessen, als andere Jungs in seinem Alter. Die Moral der Geschichte kommt ganz leise und ohne erhobenen Zeigefinger… Freundschaft und Familie sind wichtiger als Handy und Youtube.

Arthur watches as his Grandad disappears into the chair and waits, but when he doesn’t come out there is only one thing for it, he has to follow him, but the land of Road has changed and the evil Magpie Crowky has captured his Grandad, there is only one thing for it, Arthur is going to have to travel the land and rescue him, he just wishes Rose was with him but she still doesn’t believe.For all ebook purchases, you will be prompted to create an account or login with your existing HarperCollins username and password.
