Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige

Currently on page 134 chapter 14
Interest Level: 8th grade and up
Reading Level: 4.75-6.25 grade
Lexile: 720HL(High-interest/Low reader)
Genre: fantasy

Amy gets sucked up by a tornado and lands in Oz but Oz has changed. After Dorothy left Oz for Kansas, she returned and stayed. Now Oz is not like it was in the book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz or the movie The Wizard of Oz.

I have read and liked Wicked by Gregory Maguire. If you are a purist and do not like authors to mess with the classics, then don't read this book. I personally am enjoying it.

SPOILER ALERT - Up is down. Right is left. Backwards is forwards. Good is evil. It appears in Danielle Paige's Oz that Dorothy is bad. As of the end of chapter 13, Amy has joined forces with Mombi and Glinda's twin, Glamora, both self-proclaimed wicked witches. Amy isn't sure if she wants to return home or how she would get home. And the Oz she is currently in is definitely not ideal. So, what is she to do?
