Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz by L. Frank Baum
3.0
This is the fourth book in Baum’s “Wizard of Oz” series of fantastical children’s adventure books.
We’re not in Kansas anymore! The book starts with Dorothy visiting California with Uncle Henry, when an earthquake opens a passage to another land. Dorothy, her kitten Eureka (Toto is nowhere to be found in this book), and her new friend Zeb fall through the crack along with the horse Jim and the buggy, eventually alighting in the Land of the Mangaboos (a people who grow like vegetables). There they meet up with the Wizard of Oz (whose balloon has again run away with him), and begin numerous adventures in their quest to get back to earth’s surface.
The series are enjoyable children’s books that have remained popular over generations, and are now in their second century.
