There is trouble in Oz and Dorothy is needed! With Glinda's help, she and Toto return to Oz. Joined by her old friends the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Lion, Dorothy sets out on a perilous journey to stop the crafty Jester from using the power of the Wicked Witch of the West's wand to turn the people of Oz into china dolls. But that seems to be the least of Dorothy's problems as her travels lead her straight into a treacherous maze, a cave full of very hungry dragons, an evil spell that could destroy the Yellow Brick Road - and the daunting knowledge that it is up to her to stop the Jester's terrible plan.

Dorothy and Mikey are best friends...well, most of the time. When they aren't arguing over who saves who in Knight and Princess. And when they aren't competing to see who is better at jumping, running, and balancing on one foot. Dorothy and Mikey know each other inside and out--the good stuff and the bad. They will always love playing together--even when they're playing to win!Keiko Kasza's animals have won the hearts of children for over ten years, and this book, with three separate stories, brings her talent to a new audience: kids beginning to read on their own. "The emphasis on caring and sharing despite superficial differences will...find a wide audience."-- School Library Journal

Excerpt from Dorothy GreyIN June 1905 Dorothy Grey wrote to a friend: Creighton used to say that Love is the great revealer, and I think that next to love, Death is the greatest revealer.' She was right. Death bids us pause and think. Small things disappear, and it seems as if it became more easy to see the truth about those who have left us. The whole person is present to our thoughts, not some one trait, not some charming gift, not some striking capacity. As we think of what death has helped us to discover and to understand, we long to make permanent the Vision that has been revealed, to gather for all time the message, the meaning, the fragrance of the life that we have known. When with awful swiftness death took her, who to her friends seemed like one apart, a personality vivid, strong, unique, one whose heart was as a magnet to all great thoughts, it was impossible not to wish to gather together the thoughts and memories of her that came to those who knew and loved her. The picture must be imperfect, but here and there some touch may serve to call up a true vision, or to complete the picture which already exists in the minds of those to whom Dorothy Grey Will always hear living memory.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
