A review by rcsreads
Oz the Complete Collection Pa by L. Frank Baum
4.0
We get new characters and new parts of Oz in the first two but there's a lot of reused plots and the Patchwork Girl ends very abruptly with a quick fix that makes most of the story a pointless waste of time!
The Scarecrow of Oz is actually really good though.
I'm not sure why it's named after Scarecrow because he doesn't show up till halfway through!
It mainly follows Trot and Cap`n Bill who get sucked down a whirlpool and go on a journey with an Ork (weird, featherless, helicopter bird things). Hardly anyone tries to kill them and they help a princess and a gardeners boy to their happy ending.
Good female role models galore!
