What on earth? When did Ozma grow up and join the Ziegfeld Follies? 😂
This is one of my childhood favs. The lunchbox trees, with the napkin leaves, could anything be more tantalizing? And I love all the adventures and the sneaky Nome King.

“Do you expect me to believe all that rubbish about the land of Oz?... your impossible stories about animals that can talk...“ -- Bellina, the hen. 😂

pickI enjoyed this, though not as much as previous books. Dorothy is really obnoxious in the beginning and it annoyed me a lot how Baum wrote her pronunciation, especially since it‘s a change from the first book. But it‘s funny (albeit quite dark at times, in a way the narrative doesn‘t seem to acknowledge) and the characters—Billina the talking hen, Langwidere the lazy princess with her heads, Tik-Tok—are delightful. #BeyondtheYellowBrickRoad
pickOn a voyage to Australia, Dorothy falls overboard & is swept away to the magical Land of Ev w/ a sassy talking chicken. When Ozma comes to rescue the royal family, Dorothy joins the quest.
Billina is in my top 5 favorite Oz characters! & this story is so charming & lets us explore more fairy countries. We get to meet new friends like Tik-Tok & the Hungry Tiger, the iconic Langwidere, & the Nomes! & an epic rescue, w/ Billina saving all!🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
A complex #LoveHatePairing of Elphaba and Glinda. Loved being able to take my older granddaughters to see Wicked on Broadway when each was a Senior in high school. Loved Part One of the movie version, too. May never read the book, though.

so-so⭐️⭐️⭐️
Finished my February book club pick. This was a slower read…I enjoyed the alternative view of Oz and the events leading up to Dorothy‘s arrival.
“Oh yes,” the Wizard said, tapping his cane lightly against the yellow bricks. “I am very ready indeed.”

pickBook 2 is a low pick for me. It has a lot of plot, but it had an aimless feeling to it. I did like the new characters though. #BeyondtheYellowBrickRoad
Seeing this again today… can‘t wait!!
