The West Rock is crumbling. Land is fast becoming more precious than gold. Sky cowboy, Will Gallows, having fled his home, is soon caught up in a bitter land feud between the cowboy settlers of the eastern arm and the elf 'braves' of Gung-Choux village. With battle looming, Will sets out to save his uncle from the hangman's noose. A quest that leads him to the rock's edge, where deadly thunder-dragons roam, and where he stumbles on a treacherous plot to drive the elf tribes off the eastern arm forever.

"These books have both proven satisfying in the compelling shading over of old-fashioned wild west cliches in bright fantasy colours- and this one is better at it than the first." * The Bookbag *

 

"A welcome return for Will Gallows . . . Action packed, this is an inventive story with a host of larger-than-life characters." * JULIA ECCLESHARE, LOVEREADING4KIDS *

 

"Madcap adventure . . . if Eoin Colfer can make fairies cool for boys, then the elf braves of The Thunder Dragon's Roar should face no credibility problems." * CORK EVENING ECHO *

 

"A wonderfully imagined story . . . fast-paced and very descriptive, helping the reader to stay engaged throughout." * The School Librarian *
