[5] Development The writing style of Jenny McLachlan is just unbelievable, the way that every single small details are brought to life. You really do feel part of the story. At some points it really did take my breath away and i felt as if i was in Roar along with them on their quest. 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. Disney showed early footage to young test audiences, who were able to make suggestions, such as adjusting the look of the hyenas. Disney Consumer Products later launched a line of toys to tie into the television series.
