The true hero of The Wizard of Oz takes center stage in this brilliant, delightfully snarky reimagining from the author of The Library of the Unwritten. I was mostly a Good Dog until they sold me out to animal control, okay? But if its a choice between Oz, with its creepy little singing dudes, and being behind bars in gray old Kansas, Ill choose the place where animals talk and run the show for now, thanks. Its not my fault that the kid is stuck here too, or that she stumbled into a tug-of-war over a pair of slippers that dont even taste good. Now one witch in good eyeliner calls her pretty and were off on a quest? Teenagers. I try to tell her shes falling in with the wrong crowd when she befriends a freaking hedge wizard made of straw, that blue jay with revolutionary aspirations, and the walking tin can. Still, Im not one to judge when theres the small matter of a coup in the Forest Kingdom.... Look, something really stinks in Oz, and this Wizard guy and the witches positively reek of it. As usual, its going to be up to a sensible little dog to do a big dogs job and get to the bottom of it. And trust me: Little dogs can get away with anything.

This was a fun read! I loved the existing connections to The Wizard of Oz but also loved the new additions A. J. brought to the story. Would definitely recommend to any Wizard of Oz fan! 🪄🫧💚

I‘m either 2 days late OR 5 days early for #FridayHappyReadingHour 🤣 But either way, here I am with my wine, my cheese & crackers and my Toto ebook (also pictured is my hubby‘s iced tea lol). The laundry from vacation is all done and put away, groceries for the week have been purchased and I even got a car wash and vacuumed out the sand from our beach day 🙌 How many hours until Friday….?

Sace That looks like heaven! 4mo

When Toto & his human Dorothy are swept away in a tornado, he was not expecting a land of magic, political feuds, & revolution. Being a Good Dog was going to get him taken away by Animal Control, so it‘s time to see what a Bad Dog can do.

I laughed out loud so much. A modernized retelling, poking fun @ a lot of tech bro culture & far right wing masculinity, while also providing loving references to the wide spread cultural impact of Oz.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗

BookmarkTavern #Lucygirl When I realized who the wizard was, I had to put the book down as I actually cackled. #14Books14Weeks @Liz_M (edited) 6mo
