Country girl Dorothy Gale gets whisked away by a cyclone to the fantastical Land of Oz. Dropped into the midst of trouble when her farmhouse crushes a tyrannical sorceress, Dorothy incurs the wrath of the Wicked Witch of the West. Dorothy is desperate to return to her native Kansas, and, aided by the Good Witch of the North, she sets out for the Emerald City to get help from the legendary Wizard. On her way, she meets three unlikely allies who embody key human virtues—the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion.

Short and Sweet

I think we all know the story of the Wizard of Oz and sweet little Dorothy, but if you don’t I’ll give you a recap. Dorothy lives on a farm in Kansas with her Aunt Em, Uncle Henry, and how could we forget little Toto. The adventure begins when a tornado comes and sweeps Dorothy, Toto, and their house into a magical land. Now Dorothy and Toto must find a way back to Kansas by finding the Wizard in the Emerald City, and along the way they meet some new friends.

What I liked

~ I liked Dorothy she was always looking out for her friends and looking for solutions to the problems they would come across.

~We get to meet people who weren’t in the movie.

~ It was a short book and easy to read.

~ Fun adventure to go on with Dorothy and the gang.

What I didn’t like

~ The only thing that bothered me was when the characters would repeat themselves if something went wrong. Ex. “I won’t get my brain. I won’t get my heart.” Just things like that. It happened a few times but I got over it.

Overall

I would recommend this book! It was short and I think I may even like it more than the movie. There is also a version of it that is free on Google Play books if you guys decide you want to read it!

KILLING SADIE By Rachel Peterson

Short and Sweet Review Killing Sadie had such an intriguing premise that immediately pulled me in. A murder mystery told through multiple interrogations, unreliable narrators, and conflicting stories sounded like exactly the kind of YA thriller I enjoy. Unfortunately, while the setup was strong, the execution didn’t quite live up to its potential. The multiple POV […]

HELL TO PAY By Lora Beth Johnson

Short and Sweet Review Hell to Pay was such a fun surprise. Between the magical heists, the Afterlife, and a crew of lovable misfits, this book hooked me almost immediately. The premise alone is incredibly creative, and it delivered the kind of fast paced adventure that kept me wanting to know what ridiculous situation the characters […]
