A Puffin Classic, The Wizard of Oz is a great read. With the well-known story of Dorothy venturing into the land of Oz, carried by a tornado which hit Kansas, The Wizard of Oz is the story in which our Wonderful Wizard of Oz is back, and Dorothy unwillingly kills the wicked witch.
Dorothy and Toto are from Kansas. But when a tornado strikes their town of Kansas, and their house is thrown into the tornado. Dorothy is knocked out, and when she regains consciousness, she finds that she has killed the Evil Witch, getting the gratitude of the people she reigned with terror. In the process, she finds that she obtains a set of ruby slippers.
This story is the story many people know and have come to love. The story of Dorothy, rivaling only in 'Alice in Wonderland'. Really. I mix them up all the time.
With a rather basic plot, of a kind girl being plopped into a mysterious world, Dorothy makes many friends, and sticks with her pride and determination, and generosity the whole way through. With her companions, from her small dog, Toto, to the Cowardly Lion, this is an adventure like no other, with such an unusual set of creatures to accompany it!
This is trully a classic by L. Frank Baum, and everyone needs to read it! It's an amazing read, and I recommend it to everyone!
*** I give this book a 9.6 out of 10***
