The Oz Odyssey

For ages 9-12. Following Dorothy on a new adventure in the realm of the yellow brick road, this tale finds her lost along an abandoned trail hidden in the brush of the shadowy Oz Forest. Along the way, she ignores a warning sign and walks with Toto into the Land of Never Return, where she learns that Bekama, the leader of the Tinybits, plans to imprison them forever. Their only hope of rescue lies with the Lion, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Woodman, Dorothy's three very best friends, who must thwart the dangers of the Oz Forest and find Dorothy before she becomes forever trapped in the lost reaches of Oz. This new tale of Oz kindles the imagination while providing lessons on responsibility, courage, and friendship.
