Overview
The New York Times bestselling first book in a dark new series that reimagines the Oz saga, from debut author Danielle Paige.
I didn't ask for any of this. I didn't ask to be some kind of hero. But when your whole life gets swept up by a tornado--taking you with it--you have no choice but to go along, you know?
Sure, I've read the books. I've seen the movies. I know the song about the rainbow and the happy little blue birds. But I never expected Oz to look like this. To be a place where Good Witches can't be trusted, Wicked Witches may just be the good guys, and winged monkeys can be executed for acts of rebellion. There's still a road of yellow brick--but even that's crumbling.
What happened? Dorothy. They say she found a way to come back to Oz. They say she seized power and the power went to her head. And now no one is safe.
My name is Amy Gumm--and I'm the other girl from Kansas. I've been recruited by the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked. I've been trained to fight. And I have a mission: Remove the Tin Woodman's heart. Steal the Scarecrow's brain. Take the Lion's courage. And--Dorothy must die.

Therese R. - 1 year 8 months agoThe wonderful world of Oz is in disarray. Good is Wicked and Wicked is Good. Dorothy has returned in a fury, destroying each county one by one. In a last ditch effort to save the land, another resident of Kansas is brought to Oz and recruited by the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked with one objective in mind: To save Oz..Dorothy Must Die.

Dorothy must die it’s the type of book that you will immediately know if you like it or not

A Good Twist on a Classic Tale
Mythili G. - 6 years 4 months agoI loved the book overall. After the introduction to the protagonist, it was an adventure-filled story with everyone's favorite original Oz characters. It was a little slow and plain at some points with loads of details and descriptions, but was a good twist on the story. The characters were different and there were also new characters that the author added in. I would recommend this book to fantasy lovers who love a twist on a classic story. When I started reading the series, I saw Dorothy in a new way I had never thought of, making this book an instant favorite.

Great Twist on the Wizard of Oz
Kaitlyn V. - 6 years 4 months agoThis book took awhile to get into, but once the cheesy introduction was through, it was very intriguing. I love the characters and there was an awesome storyline that kept the reader wanting more! I would definitely recommend if you're a wizard of oz fan and want a twisted element entangled in a heroic story.

Really 3.5 stars
Katie B. - 6 years 5 months agoParts of this book were really good, but then other parts were really slow. The slow parts I almost skipped over them because I just wanted to give back to the more exciting elements of the book. I think what made it slow were the details, too many of them. The book was interesting enough for me to read the sequals that followed. A good book, but slow at times.
