Amy is just an ordinary Kansas girl. She’s not always happy, especially since her
father left her and her mother and they had to move to a trailer park. The other kids at school make fun of her
because they’re poor, but basically she’s really just an average person, until
a tornado picks up her trailer and drops her in Oz. Oz isn’t quite what she imagined. Dorothy is back in Oz and Oz doesn’t look
quite right. It’s not as vibrant and
colorful as she imagined and apparently it’s all because of Dorothy. She is stealing the magic from the land and
torturing its people. Amy falls in with
a group of witches who call themselves wicked but are dedicated to overthrowing
Dorothy. They think Amy is the only
person who can do it, but to accomplish this task, Amy is going to have to kill
Dorothy. This is an interesting take on
Oz and what might have happened after the original stories. It’s a little hard for me, who has read all
of the original Oz books, to believe.
This is not the Dorothy from the movie or the books, but it’s a good
story. Teens that have only read the
original book or seen the movie will probably enjoy this a lot.
