Journey back to the incredible Land of Roar with the highly-anticipated Dragon Riders of Roar. This fourth book in the Land of Roar series is an imaginatively soaring adventure through a new region of one of our favourite worlds. Of course Win, Arthur’s wizard ninja pal, and Mitch, Rose’s mermaid witch best friend, are both there along with awe-inspiring dragons and a terrifying new villain. This high-stakes, magical tale is a feast for the imagination – perfect for reading aloud.
Rose and Arthur Trout are a little bit older but still love nothing more than bringing their imaginations to life. Crawling through the folding camp bed in their grandad’s attic, they emerge into Roar where there are no grown-ups and no rules. Their parents have left them with Grandad for two weeks while they go on holiday so the twins can spend as much time as they like exploring waterfalls, mountains and islands with their friends.
Unbeknownst to Arthur, Rose has been writing her own story about Roar including a new region to the far north – Dragonlands. There, the Dragon Rider Academy trains children to become dragon riders. Rose can’t wait to be the star student and earn her “charmed bracelet” that allows her to take flight.
Just as they’re about to crawl through into Roar, their Aunt Chaya and baby cousin Lila arrive for a short visit. Arthur hears strange music in the night and wonders if something has happened to Lila. When Rose and Arthur finally make it into Roar, stories of the Witch King Jago Skua stealing children and leaving changelings in their place makes Arthur even more uncomfortable. He knows he needs to become a dragon rider as quickly as possible and find out the truth about what’s going on in Jago Skua’s castle.
Dragon Riders of Roar is a wonderful blend of a Hogwarts style school with the intensity of Camp Claw in Dragon Force. The ups and downs of lessons, classmates, and teachers create a hilarious story filled with magic and mystery. Each chapter brings new excitement and a twist of events. Arthur and Rose’s sibling bond has its own ups and downs as they strive to fit in and find their place in this unusual world.
A huge thank you to Farshore & Eve Wersocki Morris for an early read of this fantastic book!
