When a cyclone sweeps young Dorothy Gale and her dog Toto from the gray Kansas prairie into the vibrant land of Oz, she must find her way home. Guided by the Good Witch of the North, Dorothy sets off along the Yellow Brick Road toward the Emerald City, where the great Wizard Oz may hold the answer. Along the way she befriends a Scarecrow in need of a brain, a Tin Woodman longing for a heart, and a Cowardly Lion seeking courage. Together they face enchanted forests, a deadly poppy field, and the terrifying Wicked Witch of the West. This faithful modern retelling preserves Baum's original wonder, humor, and heart while making the story fresh for today's readers. Part of Timeless Classics.
