This is the first sequel to the original Wizard of Oz. It starts off with some unknown characters: Tip and the person he created, Jack Pumpkin-head. They travel to Oz to meet with the Scarecrow. Oz is taken over by some girls and a journey through the land begins to take shape. They go to meet with the Tinsman, emperor of the Winkies for help. Other new characters in their journey include the Highly Magnified Woggle-bug, a Saw-horse , and a Gump. The return leads to a surprise with Mombi, but I won’t spoil it in this review.
It’s a nice story, but not as captivating as the original. Still, it’s a nice book. I give it a 2 out of 3.
