Summary:
OZ is. Of that Dorothy Gale was sure.
No matter that Aunt Em and Uncle Henry had tried to convince her that her visit to the magical land was all in her mind, merely the result of the head injury she suffered during that dreadful tornado. Now she must put all thoughts of OZ behind her and deal with the real world.
And they almost had her convinced...
Then Dorothy found a key with the OZ insignia on it, and she knew OZ was real and that the friends she had left there--the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Woodman, and her beloved Scarecrow--needed her.
During a raging storm, Dorothy is hurled back to OZ, which now lies under the spell of the evil Nome King and his accomplice the wicked with Mombi.
Together with her faithful companion Billina the talking hen, Dorothy sets out on an adventure, filled with excitement and fraught with danger, to find the rightful ruler of OZ!
