Books in My Emerald City series

“They said I was born with alcoholism, that it's my families disease and since I have it, there's no gettin’ rid of it. Certain life events can trigger it, or arrest it. My stage was set from birth and I'd have to run and try not to die for sixteen years. I never thought finding a simple key would change everything, but it did." Inspired by actual events, “My Emerald City,” is the story of an abandoned child’s struggle with substance abuse and her brush with the most prolific serial killer in American history.

Dorothy, Aunt Em, and Uncle Henry continue their tour of the Land of Oz. Dorothy is separated from the bunch after she is taken prisoner by the Spoon Brigade of the Kingdom of Utensia. Meanwhile, Guph visits the Phanfasms to enlist their help as allies. But again, he may be adding more trouble than assistance. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards.

Aunt Em and Uncle Henry trade in their rags for beautiful garb, but they are bored without farm life and the daily tasks they had grown accustom to. Ozma promises them some light work, but only after they meet the curious people of Oz. Elsewhere, King Roquat the Red--otherwise known as the Nome King--has sent Guph to gather allies for his attack on Emerald city. However, the Growleywogs may turn out to be less than worthy allies.

Dorothy and Toto move along to Bunnyburry where Dorothy happily helps the very, very miserable monarch. Guph returns to the Nome King to tell him of the allies he has collected. The Nome King is grateful but wary, as he knows that the team is a dangerous one. Dorothy finally reconnects with Aunt Em and Uncle Henry and they continue on their tour, but the Tin Woodman gives them some ghastly news.
