Description
A collection of prequel novellas to the New York Times bestselling Dorothy Must Die series
Long before Amy Gumm got swept away from a Kansas trailer park . . . Dorothy Gale received a package on the night of her 16th birthday: a pair of red high-heeled shoes. Dear Dorothy, the note read. I thought about silver to match the ones you lost, but in the end I decided that red was more your color. I think you know what to do with them.
And with a knock of her heels, Dorothy returned to the magical land that made her a star—and Oz would never be the same again.
This bind-up of three prequel novellas to the New York Times bestselling Dorothy Must Die series follows Dorothy Gale as she transforms from good girl to Wicked Witch. Kiss the land where troubles melt like lemon drops goodbye. Here there's danger around every corner, and magical shoes won't be able to save you.

Gr 9 Up—Previously published as individual ebooks, three prequel novellas to Paige's Dorothy Must Die (HarperCollins, 2014) are collected in one wonder-filled volume. Each entry takes place after Dorothy's original visit to Oz but before the events of the series opener. In "No Place Like Oz," Dorothy is back in Kansas but no longer content with her drab home after the glamorous and action-packed adventures she left behind in Oz. Surprised with mysterious glittery red shoes for her 16th birthday, she uses their magic to whisk her family back to Oz. Even there, her discontent and hunger for more power grows, and when the opportunity arises to usurp Ozma's throne, she seizes it at great cost. In "The Witch Must Burn," readers are given more insight into Jellia's character and background. Formerly Ozma's attendant and now one of Dorothy's head maids, she has seen the chaos that the new despot's and evil Glinda's rages have wrought. Readers are reunited with Nox and the other members of the WICKED group trying to overthrow Dorothy, and the seeds for the revolution are slowly sown. In "The Wizard Returns," Pete (or Ozma's alter ego) puts the con man to the test: with no memory of his past wrongdoings, will the Wizard continue to make the same mistakes? Or is he capable of being selfless, thereby becoming a possible ally in the fight to free Oz from tyranny? Readers get an even greater sense of the power plays and double alliances that have plagued Oz for generations. These tales can be read as standalones. VERDICT Paige continues to weave an intricate spell that will delight series fans.—Shelley Diaz, School Library Journal
