Dorothy Must Die

Dorothy Must Die By Danielle Paige

Meet Amy Gumm. Pink-haired and loud-mouthed, she is nothing like Dorothy Gale of The Wizard of Oz. But Amy, like Dorothy, is brought to Oz by a tornado.

Munchkin children are used for slave labor. Dorothy uses paste to make people smile. She is a tyrant. The gleaming yellow brick road is dull. Good is evil. Evil is good. 

Amy is recruited for the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked. And her mission is clear: REMOVE the Tin Woodman's heart. STEAL the Scarecrow's brain. TAKE the Lion's courage. DOROTHY MUST DIE.

Age: 12+ This would probably interest anybody, but Amy's mother's alcoholism and drug use is described in some detail.

Rating: 11/10 stars. Yes, I know saying that is tacky. But this deserves it.
