Book Reviews of The Emerald City of Oz

Book Review: A must read!
Summary: 4 Stars

I don't think you could find any child or adult who has seen the movie or read The Wizard of Oz, who doesn't hold the story in their heart as one of the most delightful of all times. Yet many of us have not read the subsequent books in the series. And that is too bad.

The Emerald City of Oz by L. Frank Baum is the sixth book in the Oz series. It is delightful and is one of the best of those in the series that I've read.

Dorothy, Aunty Em and Uncle Henry experience a serious financial disaster. They've lost all their money and been evicted from their farm so they intend to leave Kansas forever and travel to Oz where they wish to live peacefully in the palace. But alas, peace is not in the cards.

An evil Nome King is determined to wreck havoc on quiet and peaceful Oz and that spells disaster for everyone if the danger is not discovered in time.

Dorothy meets new friends and is reunited with her old friends, including jack pumpkin, the cowardly lion, princess ozma and my favorite, the tinman.

Armchair Interviews says: Children will delight in the story and characters. Their imagination will soar with the possibilities of adventure. Summer is upon us and this is a great choice for those long, lazy days.
