No Place Like Oz by Danielle Paige
3.0
There's no place like home. I mean Oz.
This was an enjoyable read. If you're a big fan of The Wizard of Oz, I'd recommend it.
This picks up 2 years after Dorothy's adventures and it is clear that she is unsatisfied with her dull, black and white life as a farm girl back in Kansas. No worries, a pair of ruby red, 5 inch high heels mysteriously show up on Dorothy's 16th birthday to transport (and corrupt) her, as well as Aunt Em and Uncle Henry, back to the wonderful world of Oz!
Once there, you get to see the magic slowly corrupt Dorothy and things get a little out of sorts. I must admit, Evil Dorothy is kind of fun. As childish as the dialogue is at times, I liked seeing her get a little dark and twisty. If I want to slap her, you're doing your job right, Danielle Paige.
Side note: what era are we suppose to be in here. The Wizard of Oz takes place during the Industrial Revolution, not a lot of which happened immediately in Kansas. I mean, it was released in 1900 so why is it making references to WWI and Shirley Temple? Check your history. Okay, tiny rant over. It just bothers me when your history is off.
Overall, this was a fun read.
