Where Lions Roar at Night

Barn Chronicles

By: Rosie Boom

Narrated by: Rosie Boom

Where Lions Roar at Night is an engaging listen for the whole family. Enjoy the fun, adventures, and dramas of a modern day "pioneering" family as they begin home-steading in rural NZ. Where Lions Roar at Night is the first book in the multi-award-winning series The Barn Chronicles by New Zealand author Rosie Boom.

Ten-year-old Milly had always dreamed of living in the country and owning all sorts of animals. So, when her parents buy a piece of land and move their six children into a 90-year-old barn, Milly can’t believe her luck.

But she never imagined that living the simple life would include mucking out a filthy water tank, gathering endless supplies of firewood, clearing the land, and rescuing animals in a "hundred year" storm. Nor did she expect to hear deep groanings in the night....

Where Lions Roar at Night is published by Boom Tree Publishing.
