At first, this book reminded me of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, but I found the storytelling to be too linear and I wish we got to know more of Dorothy as a main character. Lots of exciting things happened in the story, but due to the robotic storytelling it felt like I was reading a wiki plot summary. Not a bad piece of children's fiction, but definitely mid.
