While Dad and Mum are busy building the new family home, the children are messing about on the land. Their days are full of adventures horse riding, camping in Lantern Waste, making huts, canoeing and swimming in the river, archery … and all the while, Milly’s menagerie of animals continues to grow.
But one thing is missing. Milly dreams of milking her very own cow. However, when the time finally comes, Milly discovers that training a house cow is not as easy as she thought it would be…
Where Arrows Fly has nearly 100 pencil illustrations too!
Award winning author Rosie Boom lived in Papua New Guinea for three years during her childhood. Life was one great adventure, full of strange animals, tilley lanterns and river fun. She credits those exhilarating years with her on-going excitement at facing a challenge and enjoying having to ‘rough it’. When she first laid eyes on the ancient barn, all she could think was, ‘We could live here!’ In the first six months, they survived two ‘one hundred year’ storms. The barn creaked and shook and groaned, but outlasted the onslaught. They were exciting, nerve wracking days and nights of gale force winds, rain so loud on the tin roof that the family couldn’t hear themselves shout, rescuing animals and anxiously watching to see if the barn roof would lift off.
Milly, the main character in The Barn Chronicles, is the author’s strong willed, feisty 11 year old. She is full of life and action, and is passionately fond of any sort of animal. In the first year of living on the land, Milly gathered a menagerie of pets – chickens, Indian Runner ducks, a pony and a milking cow to name a few.
The author’s hope is that Where Arrows Fly and each book in The Barn Chronicles series will cause people to reflect on the joy and wonder of family. And that the adults who read it will re-capture some of the wonder of childhood, while the children who enjoy the books will be inspired to never lose it.

“You have to read this book. I never thought it would be possible to have another book as good as Where Lions Roar at Night. Now I can’t wait for the next in the series!” — Bonnie, age 11.
Thank you SOOO much for writing Where Lions Roar at Night and Where Arrows Fly. I think your books are the best I have ever read! I am reading it for the second time and I started it yesterday! They are full of fun, adventure, celebrations, broken legs, and heaps more! I would love to live in a barn like that and live on that property with a river, animals, swings, eels and every thing else! I would also love to have all those adventures. You are definitely my favorite author. I was sad when I finished the book but I was SO happy when I saw that you wrote more! — Aria, 10

About Where the River Rises
As the Boom family begins a fourth year of living in their 93 year–old barn, a terrible drought has Northland in its grip. The land turns brown, the Great River of Narnia falls, and the animals begin to suffer. As the relentless drought continues, thirteen–year–old Milly begins to think the rains will never come. But meanwhile there is a homestead to be finished and adventures to be had. There are calves to rear, gardens to plant and endless firewood to be collected.
By the time the drought finally breaks and the river rises again, The Ruins have been transformed into a home crafted with love, blood, sweat and tears. Milly can hardly wait to move in. The time has finally come to leave the barn and begin a whole new adventure.

Where Lions Roar at Night: Barn Chronicles Book 1 (Rosie Boom)
$14.75Winner 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.
