Critic reviews
This funny, captivating story is filled with the painful pangs of growing up and the transporting qualities of imagination', Imogen Russell-Williams, Guardian
'A vividly imagined adventure, […] full of heart, humour and a terrifying villain', Fiona Noble, Bookseller
'This is proof, not that it’s needed, that Jenny McLachlan is a writer of enormous heart and versatility. I’m a really big fan', award-winning author, Phil Earle
'Roar is an exhilarating, hilarious, vividly drawn tribute to the power of the childhood imagination, the love of family and the magic we risk losing as we grow up. If you plan to visit one new place in 2019, make it Roar', Sarah Driver, author of The Huntress trilogy

THE SECOND BEST BOOKM I’VE READ IN AGES
This is a really good book if you have read the first one and I’m exited to read the next one.
I would recommend it to anyone over the age of about nine
But it is definitely up my top favourite books I’ve read

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!
Fun, amazing story directed at ages 8-11 though older kids may find it fun to. Billy Ashcroft may not be the same narrater who reads books 1 & 2, and may take some getting use to but he is just as good.

Good story but the chapter interval is wrong
We have very much enjoyed this series of books, but in this third one something has gone wrong with the editing of the audio playback so that there’s no gap between chapters. This disrupts the flow of the book and makes listening far less enjoyable.

Amazing story!!!!
The story line is “ imaginary” and you can feel the tension between the characters.
Overall one of the best stories I’ve heard in a while!!!
