The New York Times bestselling first book in a dark new series that reimagines the Oz saga, from debut author Danielle Paige.I didn't ask for any of this. I didn't ask to be some kind of hero. But when your whole life gets swept up by a tornado--taking you with it--you have no choice but to go along, you know?Sure, I've read the books. I've seen the movies. I know the song about the rainbow and the happy little blue birds. But I never expected Oz to look like this. To be a place where Good Witches can't be trusted, Wicked Witches may just be the good guys, and winged monkeys can be executed for acts of rebellion. There's still a road of yellow brick--but even that's crumbling.What happened? Dorothy. They say she found a way to come back to Oz. They say she seized power and the power went to her head. And now no one is safe.My name is Amy Gumm--and I'm the other girl from Kansas. I've been recruited by the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked. I've been trained to fight. And I have a mission: Remove the Tin Woodman's heart. Steal the Scarecrow's brain. Take the Lion's courage. And--Dorothy must die.

"This was so good."

"This take on a twisted version of “The Wizard of Oz” will leave you wanting more! Dorothy and friends are now the enemy. The Wicked are trying to do good. And a new hero has risen to try to take on the challenge. I believe this book is very well written and deserves to be shared and shared. Take a gander down the yellow brick road and view it in a different prospective, you will not be disappointed!"

"I wanted to like it but I just couldn’t get into it. First half was okay. Nothing special about it though. "

"I was really surprised to find out that this book wasn't bad! The rest of the series kinda drops off, but I enjoyed this one! "
Dragon Army
"Loved seeing such a different version of Oz, it was exciting, emotional, unpredictable, and unique. Also the whole evil take on Dorothy was such a great twist to the previous inspiration"

"I was skeptical about this idea but I love it! Subtle references to the classic story we all know and love, with some fun magical twists and turns! A bit more descriptive in the gore details but overall a great easy read. #dystopian #thewizardofoz #teen "

"Wondrously creepy, frequently terrifying twist on the Oz myth; what if Dorothy, instead of the wide eyed naif of book and movie, were in fact a brutal, colonizing dictator? That' s what teenager Amy Gumm (knowing wink to Judy Garland fans) discovers when a modern day cyclone deposits her in a dystopian Oz. This fast paced adventure held my interest, but alas,like all good (and not so good) teen novels, this is the First of a Trilogy."
