Overview
Step through the folding camp bed in Grandad's attic and into Roar, the world twins Rose and Arthur invented as small children and never quite left behind. This five-book paperback collection gathers the complete Land of Roar series by Jenny McLachlan, following the siblings as they return again and again to a realm of mermaid witches, ninja wizards, changelings, and dragons growing wilder with every visit. As the twins take on new roles, including training as Dragon Riders, old rivalries resurface and imagination blurs with reality. This set is a great introduction to a beloved fantasy series.

About the Books
The Land of Roar began as a game twins Rose and Arthur invented as young children, played through a folding camp bed hidden in their grandad's attic. When the pair rediscover the game as older kids, they find Roar is real, and that the imaginary world they built together still needs them. Across five books, Jenny McLachlan expands this world book by book: new missions, new dangers, and new corners of Roar's landscape, from cursed islands to dragon schools. Rose and Arthur are joined by their younger cousin Win, and the trio's friendship, bickering, and loyalty anchor every adventure even as the stakes grow. Villains in Roar are inventive and genuinely unsettling for the age group, including shape-shifting changelings and vengeful witches, while allies range from loyal dragons to unexpected new friends. McLachlan writes with a light, funny touch, balancing slapstick sibling humor with real emotional stakes about growing up, letting go of childhood things, and learning to trust other people with your imagination. The later books introduce dragon riding as a central thread, giving the series a bigger, more spectacular feel while keeping the household magic and homemade rules that made the first book so charming. Read in order or dipped into individually, this collection rewards fans of portal fantasy, sibling adventure stories, and inventive world-building, and works equally well as a read-aloud or an independent chapter book series for confident young readers.
