The true hero of The Wizard of Oz takes center stage in this brilliant, delightfully snarky reimagining from the author of The Library of the Unwritten.
βHeartfelt and often hilarious. . . . Toto takes his place among the pantheon of Very Good literary canines.ββThe Washington Post
I was mostly a Good Dog until they sold me out to animal control, okay?
But if itβs a choice between Oz, with its creepy little singing dudes, and being behind bars in gray old Kansas, Iβll choose the place where animals talk and run the show for now, thanks.
Itβs not my fault that the kid is stuck here too, or that she stumbled into a tug-of-war over a pair of slippers that donβt even taste good. Now one witch in good eyeliner calls her pretty and weβre off on a quest? Teenagers.
I try to tell her sheβs falling in with the wrong crowd when she befriends a freaking hedge wizard made of straw, that blue jay with revolutionary aspirations, and the walking tin can. Still, Iβm not one to judge when thereβs the small matter of a coup in the Forest Kingdom....
Look, something really stinks in Oz, and this Wizard guy and the witches positively reek of it. As usual, itβs going to be up to a sensible little dog to do a big dogβs job and get to the bottom of it.
And trust me: Little dogs can get away with anything.
