Overview
The Wicked Years continue in Gregory Maguire's Son of a Witch--the heroic saga of the hapless yet determined young man who may or may not be the offspring of the fabled Wicked Witch of the West. A New York Times bestseller like its predecessor, the remarkable Wicked, Son of a Witch follows the boy Liir on his dark odyssey across an ingeniously re-imagined and nearly unrecognizable Land of Oz--a journey that will take him deep into the bowels of the Emerald City, lately abandoned by the Wizard, and into the jaws of dragons. At once a grim fairy tale and an uplifting adventure, Son of a Witch is a true wonder.

Elphaba Lives!
Stephanie H. - 6 years agoSon of a Witch is about Liir, possible son of the "Wicked" Witch. Now regarded as a great heroine by many in Oz. The story covers Liir's life from the moment Elphaba (i.e., the Wicked Witch of the West) is killed by Dorothy till he becomes a man and discovers who he is, what he can do, and where he belongs. This book makes you love Liir because he is a poor, little, lost boy, that has to figure 'Life' out on his own. If you loved "Wicked," you will adore "Son of a Witch"!! I Loved it, would read it again, and I highly recommend it to anyone... but be warned that it will leave you with many questions. What happened to Candle? What happens to the baby? And most of all, Where is Nor? If you are wondering about these questions, I recommend that you, grab and get on the nearest Broom, hang on with all you got, and enjoy reading "Son of a Witch"!!! And always remember, "ELPHABA LIVES!!!".....
