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.
âHeartfelt and often hilarious. . . . Toto takes his place among the pantheon of Very Good literary canines.ââThe Washington Post
I was mostly a Good Dog until they sold me out to animal control, okay?
But if itâs a choice between Oz, with its creepy little singing dudes, and being behind bars in gray old Kansas, Iâll choose the place where animals talk and run the show for now, thanks.
Itâs 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 donât even taste good. Now one witch in good eyeliner calls her pretty and weâre off on a quest? Teenagers.
I try to tell her sheâs 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, Iâm not one to judge when thereâs 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, itâs going to be up to a sensible little dog to do a big dogâs job and get to the bottom of it.
And trust me: Little dogs can get away with anything.
