Description[]
Dorothy's farm in Kansas is going to be taken because Uncle Henry can't pay off their debt. Luckily, Dorothy can take her uncle and aunt to Oz, where they can all live in comfort, with the use of Ozma's Magic Belt. It wasn't originally Ozma's belt, however, and the original owner, the Nome King Roquat the Red, wants revenge. He has gotten a new General who plans to recruit an army of evil allies and tunnel into the Emerald City. The tunnel progress is watched by Ozma with her magic picture for a while, and she refused to fight them off, no matter what. She had already sent Dorothy and some of her friends on a sightseeing trip with Uncle Henry and Aunt Em, and they won't arrive back at the city until the first evil forces are ready to attack. It seems like they are all going to be enslaved, though they won't mind as long as they are together.
Reader's Reviews[]
1[]
One would wonder what went on in Dorothy's home since she loved her Uncle and Aunt and her old Kansas farm so much, even when everything was so grey. This book explains how Dorothy always tells her uncle and aunt the stories of her adventures, and what they had thought about it. It is perfectly delightful to know that they both can live in Oz with Dorothy and Toto now and they have some funny reactions to the characters and places they see. (For one, Aunt Em stares down the Cowardly Lion.)
