The Tin Woodman of Oz by L. Frank Baum

4.0

Baum is so weird. This was a fun entry in the series, and while it had familiar elements (the gang setting off on a journey and encountering wacky species)the overall plot was pretty unique. It detailed the Tin Woodman's past and his desire to reconnect with the girl he loved when he was human. It definitely had some weird moments though, including the witch chopping his human form to tiny pieces and the tin-smith gluing together body parts to make a new man. I do always appreciate how the main characters rotate and new characters are regularly introduced. I also loved meeting the parents of the 9 tiny piglets. Totally random. Anyway, another good, quick read.
