Summary
The final book in the epic and best-selling children’s fantasy series that will make you believe in magic.....
Perfect for fans of Cressida Cowell's How to Train Your Dragon, Michelle Harrison's A Pinch of Magic, as well as classic children's fantasy adventures, Narnia and Jumanji.
Rose and Arthur are back in Roar, on a voyage that takes them further than they’ve ever been before: beyond The End.
It’s an amazing adventure - full of secrets, surprises and fairies with fangs - but then a mysterious storm changes everything.
Shipwrecked on a strange island, they make a shocking discovery.... Could this be the end of Roar?

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!!!

Another great story, what happened 2 the narrator?
we have loved the stories of Arthur and Rose's adventures in Roar, but the narration of the 1sr 2 books was awesome this is really lack lustre in comparison. not sure what happened with the editing but the chapter ends and the narrator reads "chapter x" as if it was the next word in a sentence from the last chapter. No pause at all to think about what happened, any suspense is ruined by it. Really spoiled it.

Narrator not great
My 2 children loved the story however the narration was not as good as previous books and to be honest that wasn't brilliant either!...
