Synopsis

The imaginary world they created has been waiting for
them to come back.
Twins Arthur and Rose created the magical world of Roar when
they were very young, and until recently, they’d all but forgotten it exists.
But when the villain who still haunts their nightmares kidnaps their
grandfather, Roar becomes part of their lives again.
When the twins go back to Roar for their first visit
after rescuing Granddad, they soon discover there’s no time to explore—Crowky,
the villain, is poised to destroy their world, using a weapon that brings their
deepest fears to life. Arthur and Rose must use all their courage and travel to
the End of Roar to confront Crowky and save the world they built.
This enchanting, action-packed novel is the sequel to The
Land of Roar, a bestseller in the UK, and is perfect for readers
who’ve always dreamed of exploring Narnia and Neverland.

3.5⭐️ Another fun and imaginative read. I think I actually might of preferred this one to the first - there was definitely more adventure and this one was basically non-stop from start to finish.

Their bond is much bett......more
