The true hero of The Wizard of Oz takes center stage in this brilliant, delightfully snarky reimagining from the author of The Library of the Unwritten. nI was mostly a Good Dog until they sold me out to animal control, okay? n nBut if its a choice between Oz, with its creepy little singing dudes, and being behind bars in gray old Kansas, Ill choose the place where animals talk and run the show for now, thanks. n nIts not my fault that the kid is stuck here too, or that she stumbled into a tug-of-war over a pair of slippers that dont even taste good. Now one witch in good eyeliner calls her pretty and were off on a quest? Teenagers. n nI try to tell her shes falling in with the wrong crowd when she befriends a freaking hedge wizard made of straw, that blue jay with revolutionary aspirations, and the walking tin can. Still, Im not one to judge when theres the small matter of a coup in the Forest Kingdom.... n nLook, something really stinks in Oz, and this Wizard guy and the witches positively reek of it. As usual, its going to be up to a sensible little dog to do a big dogs job and get to the bottom of it. n nAnd trust me: Little dogs can get away with anything.n
