For young Dorothy Gale, an ordinary day on her Kansas farm becomes an extraordinary adventure when a powerful tornado carries her house—with her inside—to the magical Land of Oz.
Upon landing, Dorothy discovers she has inadvertently defeated the Wicked Witch of the East, and only the legendary Wizard of Oz can help her return home. Setting off down the Yellow Brick Road toward the Emerald City, she meets three unforgettable companions: a Scarecrow longing for a brain, a Tin Woodman yearning for a heart, and a Cowardly Lion seeking courage.
But the journey is far from simple. The Wicked Witch of the West, furious at what happened to her sister, will stop at nothing to prevent Dorothy from reaching the Wizard. And when Dorothy finally arrives at the Emerald City, she discovers the great and powerful Oz is not quite what he seems.
Will Dorothy ever find her way back to Kansas? Or will she remain in the Land of Oz forever?
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a timeless tale of courage, friendship, and the enduring power of home—a story that has enchanted readers for over a century.
