Lions, and tigers, and bears, not quite! This âfast-paced series openerâ (Kirkus Reviews) tells the origin story of the worldâs most iconic Good Witch, Glinda, as she embarks on a brave adventure in Oz against the Wicked Witches. On her Declaration Day, a day meant for celebration and happiness, Glindaâs peaceful life in Oz is shattered when her mother is imprisoned for practicing forbidden Magic. As she is ripped from her home by a fearsome bounty hunter sent by Aphidina, the Witch of the South, Glinda soon uncovers a startling truth: the Oz sheâs always known is not good and rightâitâs a world governed by the wickedest of the wicked, overrun with tyranny, corruption, and dark power. And Glindaâs mother? She is actually a high-ranking member of a secret society whose mission is to overthrow the four Wicked Witches and set the stage for the return of the rightful ruler of Oz. With the help of a feisty, purple-haired girl named Locasta, Glinda sets across the unforgiving landscape to rescue her mother. They are soon joined by Ben, a revolutionary New Yorker, and a mysterious girl called Shade. Armed with their individual gifts, these unlikely heroes mount an epic attack on Aphidina to free Glindaâs motherâŚand save the future of Oz from the Wickeds before itâs too late.
