The Roar
by Emma Clayton

Mika and Ellie live in a future behind a wall, safe from the plague of animals beyond. Or so they’ve been told. But when one of them vanishes and the other takes part in a sinister virtual reality game, they discover their concrete world is built on lies. Lies spun by a government that, decades ago, conspired to “save” the world—but only for the chosen few.

PRAISE FOR THE ROAR
The Roar is a hugely inventive and entertaining read which grabs the reader by the scruff of the neck from the first sentence. It flies along like a laser beam from a blaster and sustains the breakneck pace until the stunning climax. A fresh and exciting take on sci-fi that will have fans crying out for a sequel. Emma Clayton is a rising star.” — Eoin Colfer

Excerpt from THE ROAR
by Emma Clayton

The sun was setting over the Atlantic, and as it ran like molten gold into the waves a girl in a Pod Fighter ripped through the scene like graffiti sprayed across a landscape painting. For a few startled moments, the sun and the sea trembled. Ellie flew fast and low with her eyes fixed on the northern horizon.
