If you loved how Arthur and Rose’s attic game—complete with ninja wizards, mermaids, and that creepy scarecrow Crowky—bursts into real, gleeful chaos once they slip through the fold-out camp bed, you’ll feel right at home in the exuberant strangeness of Furthermore. Like Roar, its magic is whimsical and mischievous, where color, riddles, and odd rules shape the world, and a brave kid must navigate a place that feels like imagination come to life.
You enjoyed how Arthur and Rose go from Grandad’s cluttered attic to the beaches and skies of Roar—and how the map they drew as kids matches a real land with real stakes. In The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, a simple wardrobe opens into Narnia’s snow-laden forests, talking animals, and ancient prophecies. That same portal thrill and richly drawn worldbuilding—paired with a dangerous foe and a quest to set things right—scratches the exact Roar itch.
In The Land of Roar, everything races forward once Grandad is taken and Arthur and Rose plunge into Roar to save him, outsmarting Crowky and chasing clues across their imagined-but-real map. Amari and the Night Brothers delivers that same propulsion: Amari barrels through a secret supernatural world to find her missing brother, facing trials, monsters, and clever rivals with the same do-or-die focus that made the rescue in Roar so gripping.
Part of Roar’s heart is Arthur and Rose growing up a bit—mending their fraying bond, owning their fears (hello, Crowky), and finding real courage to bring Grandad home. The Girl Who Drank the Moon offers that same emotional lift: Luna’s magic is unruly, the dangers are real, and through hard choices and newfound friendships, she learns who she is—much like how the twins’ adventures in Roar reshape them for the better.
If zooming across Roar on dragonback, dodging Crowky’s schemes, and racing from one lively encounter to the next kept you turning pages, Dragon Rider will hit the same sweet spot. It’s a fast-moving chase with a kindhearted dragon, loyal friends, and relentless pursuit—delivering that breathless, adventure-to-adventure rhythm that made Arthur and Rose’s rescue mission so fun.
