In Year 4, our current class novel is The Land of Roar by Jenny McLachlan.
“Everyone remembers their secret imaginary world…but what if you discovered that yours was real? When Arthur and Rose were little, they were the heroes of Roar, a magical world they invented where the wildest creations of their imaginations roamed. Now that they’re eleven, Roar is just a distant memory. But it hasn’t forgotten them.”
We’re all really enjoying it so far! It’s funny and full of action.
Your children have been sharing their opinions and making some predictions…
Wininja’s my favourite character so far because he’s so funny and his magic tricks are ridiculous.
I think Rose will end up joining Arthur in Roar, even though she thinks she’s too cool, because she misses him and her grandad.
I’m not sure what’s going to happen next but I think Arthur will defeat Crowky and be able to save his grandad.
I’m excited to keep reading it because I don’t know how its going to end.
Help at home: ask your child to summarise what they’ve read so far. You can also explore some of the other books in the series.
