Description
Roland, the last gunslinger, and his band of followers escape one world only to slip into the next, where Roland reflects upon past adventures and about his one true love.
Quick Summary
The Dark Tower series mixes westerns, fantasy, and horror into something totally unique that grabs you from page one. Kids will devour the backstory about Roland's tragic romance with Susan Delgado, the horrifying battle against the Lobster, and the way King weaves together past and present to reveal why Roland will do anything to reach the Dark Tower. If your kid loves the epic world-building of Harry Potter or the gritty stakes of The Hunger Games, they'll be completely hooked by this darker, more mature installment. Perfect for teens 14 and up who are ready for a fantasy series that doesn't shy away from real heartache and terrifying villains.
