Winner of the Australasian CALEB Book Award for Best Children’s Book 2010, Where Lions Roar at Night is an engaging book for the whole family to enjoy. It tells of the fun and adventures and dramas of a modern day ‘pioneering’ New Zealand family – the Booms!

When the Boom family first moved to Whangarei, New Zealand and bought 11 acres of farm land, complete with an old barn, they never dreamed that the next two years would hold so much fun and so many memorable moments. As they began making the barn livable, putting in and tending the vegetable garden, clearing the land, they also faced the constant challenges that inevitably go hand in hand with a small block. Rosie Boom’s story-telling skills are some of the best we’ve ever read, and are a delight to all who read her work.
