I have to say the first time I read the book it took me a while. I mean the author chooses names and uses words not common to speaking today. But once I completed the story I had to read it again. Normally these types of books I drive immediately back to the library, but this time was different. I was challenged and the second time I felt as though I had really gotten the story. And I loved it!

Because everyone knows the story of Dorothy, it’s refreshing to see her and the Wicked Witch in a new light. It makes the story more visible, knowing how the Tinman got that way.

Also if you have a chance to see the Musical it is awsome!
