Reader's Reviews[]
1[]
There were a lot of funny moments when the characters made jokes, intentional and unintentional, like a revolting army made up of pretty girls. Though the book is entertaining enough just in the middle of it, the end has a really interesting twist to it that solves all their problems. This is a really great sequel to the beloved children's classic! No wonder people let L. Frank Baum write a whole series about this fantastic place.

L. Frank Baum was known for "sanitizing" his stories. Therefore, the only problem one could have with the book was the mention of witchcraft.
