Dorothy was again the main character after stepping into the background for several books, and the group‘s adventures were more fun to read about this time. However, once again, the new characters were pretty annoying.

SamAnne I love the artwork. I had all of them as a kid in the 70s. 1y

Lizpixie I used to hound our local librarian until these came in. Me and my dad caught the bus to the library once a month to swap our books for new ones, I think I read everything in the MG & YA section by the time I was 10! The Oz books were my favourite, I have a beautiful box set of them now for my grandkids to read. Loved Asterix & Obelisk too. And Tintin! 1y

I remember loving this one as a kid, and I still did even though the Deus Ex Dorothy is particularly egregious this time. Ugu the Shoemaker is a pretty solid villain, kidnapping Ozma and stealing all the magic implements of the Wizard and Glinda as well as a magic cookie pan that makes perfect cookies and can teleport you if you sit in it, until Dorothy straight-up turns him into a bird.

Also Toto talks for the first time in this one. #OzReread

rabbitprincess I need that magic cookie pan! It would compensate for my stupid old oven. 7y

Starting the next book in my Oz reread and I've been excited to get to this one. This was one of my favorites as a kid and I still have fond memories of reading it on a long road trip with Dad down to Greenville, South Carolina to visit family friends and watch a Cross Country race.

Plus, this one has the Woozy in it! One of my favorite Oz characters, he's the blocky guy with Toto riding on his back in the picture. #OzReread

Seekingtardis It's a beautiful cover! 7y

ArcticDwarf Woozy! 😍 7y

silentrequiem This was one of my favorites! 7y

mcipher I never read all of the Oz books but I remember the ones I did read as being so weird. 😝 7y

ReadingEnvy I live in Greenville! 7y

TobeyTheScavengerMonk @ReadingEnvy My dad was a high school Cross Country coach and took many teams to race at Furman over the years. He had some friends from our town that moved there so he would take the whole high school team down (we're in NC, right on the Virginia border) and we would sleep on their floor the night before the race! (edited) 7y

ReadingEnvy @TobeyTheScavengerMonk ahhh also I work at Furman. :) 7y

TobeyTheScavengerMonk @ReadingEnvy Oh wow! Well I have some very good memories from my childhood of reading books under trees on your lovely campus while the team was running. 7y

ReadingEnvy @TobeyTheScavengerMonk it is beautiful. They've had to remove a lot of the oaks because they had passed their life expectancy and have taken to falling over with no notice. So some of the area near the library looks pretty sparse... But that's cool, hope you enjoy your time with your dad! 7y

I loved this one. I liked meeting the Big Lavender Bear, the little Pink Bear, Frogman, and Cayke the Cookie Cook. I loved where Ozma was hidden too. It should have been obvious to me but I missed it.

Hard to believe that the Oz books were considered "unwholesome" (Florida State Librarian), "not literature, but, somehow, rather evil for children" (Chicago Public Library), and for having a strong female protagonist. #bannedbooks #septphotochallenge #somethingforsept #day25
