Explanation

When a tornado rips through her Kansas trailer park, Amy Gumm is swept away to Oz. But instead of the place she has come to expect from books and movies, Amy sees a land where the Road of Yellow Brick is crumbling and Munchkins fear for their lives. And it’s all thanks to Dorothy. She came back to Oz and has become a ruthless tyrant, stealing magic from the land and its people. Amy is soon recruited by the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked, a group of rebel witches and warlocks. They train her in witchcraft and combat and give her an impossible mission: remove the Tin Woodman’s heart, steal the Scarecrow’s brain, take the Lion’s courage, and then—Dorothy must die. Amy is the only hope Oz has left.The first of a trilogy, Paige’s young adult debut transforms the world of Baum’s fairy tale into a savage dystopia where nothing is what it seems. This gripping novel is perfect for fans of freshly reimagined classics like Marissa Meyer’s Cinder, Alex Flinn’s Beastly, and Gregory Maguire’s Wicked.Praise for Dorothy Must Die:• “The ultimate in girl-powered literature.”—Nerdist.com• “Readers of Baum’s books will take special delight in seeing new twists on the old characters, and they will greet the surprise climactic turnabout with the smugness of insiders."—Kirkus Reviews• “Paige doesn’t hold back in this fast-paced action novel.”—School Library Journal
