The Lovereading comment:

Full of dramatic and startling twists, this is a thrilling and thought provoking story set in a future world. Twins Mika and Ellie live with their parents in a safe world, protected from the plague animals by a strong wall – or so they have been told. But, when Ellie disappears, they begin to discover that not everything they have been told is true. Miika takes part in a sinister virtual reality game and begins to uncover the horrible truth about the realities of the world they live in. It’s a bleak future – and a fascinating one.

Synopsis

Twelve-year old twins, Mika and Ellie, live in a future behind a wall - safe from the plague animals beyond. Or so they've been told. But when one of them disappears, and the other takes part in a sinister virtual reality game, they begin to discover their concrete world is built on lies. Determined to find each other again, they go in search of the truth. And as a strange sound in their heads grows to a roar, they find out that children and the planet have never mattered more.

Reviews

‘The Roar is a hugely inventive and entertaining read … a fresh and exciting take on sci-fi.’ - EOIN COLFER

‘It’s about today with the volume turned up’. BARRY CUNNINGHAM, PUBLISHER

About The Author

Emma Clayton spent her formative years in Oxford's underbelly, after dropping out of school at sixteen. She played in indie bands, hung out with musicians and comic artists, studied screen writing and film studies and became a mother. Thanks to her diverse experiences and passion for writing, an idea for a children's story blossomed and grew into The Roar.
