In this book, Arthur and Rose Trout are now eleven. They used to be great siblings until now. When their Grandad goes missing, they must journey to a land they created when they were younger, Roar. Meeting wizard-ninjas, unicorns and other unusual friends along the way they must journey to the Crow's Nest, where Crowky awaits... Another book I rated 10/10, but this one was very a fantasy book, I really liked taking a break from the spy genre, and this was a great one to read.
