About this deal

Overall, if you have read book one and loved it then you need to read the sequel. If you love middle-grade books or have a child that loves them and they enjoy action/adventures with amazing characters, pirate ships, and a race to save the world from a dangerous crow, then this is the book for them.

This time round you start the story by the twins being excited for the half term as they are off to grandads and he has said they are allowed to go to Roar for the whole week. Once inside Roar the twins go looking for their best friends that live within Roar. It doesn't take them long to realise that somethings are not exactly as they seem. They find that their imagination has not been lost to them and this opens many doors along the way. Synopsis of 1st book in series: Everyone remembers their secret imaginary world…but what if you discovered that yours was real?This funny, captivating story is filled with the painful pangs of growing up and the transporting qualities of imagination’ Guardian

There is so much more excitement, adventure and danger than in the first book, however it fits smoothly in the story line along with The Land of Roar. These are books i would happily read again tomorrow. Bunga teaches everyone about "Zuka Zama"reveals the big news of Kion's new leadership. Kiara asks what a Lion Guard is, and Kion explains, with Bunga adding that he is also part of the new Guard. When Timon and Pumbaa hear this, they show their concern (the work and danger involved respectively) and Bunga tries to explain that it's more Zuka Zama than it is Hakuna Matata. Tiifu questions what Zuka Zama, quoting it as "Zooku Zama" is and Bunga explains. By the time his explanation is finished, Timon and Pumbaa come to accept Bunga's new duty (mainly because Timon learns that Bunga is now considered the bravest animal in the Pride Lands). Pumbaa, in his excitement, passes wind and everyone decides that it's time to go. This book was just as magical as the first one. I loved seeing these characters again. Rose is a queen and I loved seeing her more in this book. Arthur is the best brother ever and he is also very clever (definitely didn't just rhyme on purpose...) Win is a free spirit and I love him with all my heart.In the meantime, Kion, needing to be alone, wanders around the Pride Lands and laments over his problem, losing faith that he was the right choice for the leader of I really liked how the narrative was driven around the hunt for ‘The Box’ and in finding it the children overcome their fears. We all have a box where our fears live and every now and again those fears jump out. The positive message that readers can take away is that fear can usually be overcome, we just need to be brave enough to face it. As the action unfolds there are lovely messages on friendship and the strength of the sibling bond. The read also provides the opportunity to explore bullying and the impact of social media. SImba disappointed in his son chosen a group of his friends to be on the new Guard, as opposed to choosing lions. Despite Kion trying to explain to his father about the reason for his decisions, Simba goes on to inform his son that the Lion Guard has always been made of lions and that it's not a game he plays with his friends because it's real and the Circle of Life will depend on who's on his team. He asks his son to reconsider since there are plenty of good lions for him to choose from, criticizing Kion for not taking his new leadership as seriously as his sister takes hers.

The Box would always contain the things that scared the twins most – and if Crowky gets hold of it, Roar could be in more danger than ever. This funny, captivating story is filled with the painful pangs of growing up and the transporting qualities of imagination' Guardian

The race is on to find the box. With the help of some faithful old friends and some newly invented ones, the twins embark on another epic adventure that will take them far beyond the safe parts of Roar. They must venture to ‘The End’, the place where all things that are not wanted in Roar are sent to. Is this the end for Arthur and Rose…

Return to Roar is the second in the ‘Roar’ trilogy and is the follow-up to Land or Roar. I strongly advise reading the first book before diving into this one as the story builds on the events that have occurred previously.My favourite character from the first book was Win and I’m glad to see the that he hasn’t changed. He is full of excitement and positivity and is always on hand to provide a marshmallow in any situation. In the time between the two books his wizard-ing skills have improved slightly which is of great relief to Arthur and Rose as they find themselves in some hair-raising situations. I was thrilled to finally meet Mitch, a tattooed mermaid with plenty of attitude and heart. Crowky is the best and scariest villain I've ever read about. I love how Jenny McLachlan can make her characters so lovable or scary in Crowky's case. Jenny McLachlan is amazing a creating and writing Roar. I love Roar so much and I want to explore it with Win, Rose, and Arthur. I want to fly on dragons and ride of Unicorns and hang with mermaids. And I guarantee you will too if you read this series!
