"Tip and his creation, Jack Pumpkin, run away to Oz, where they save the city after it is captured by girls." (From Amazon)

Another great read in the Oz Series. A great series for all children especially those that love Harry Potter and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

3.5/5 Stars. In this book the world of Oz is still whimsical and odd and fun. There is some era based sexism that I don’t love, as well as a lack of leading ladies. I am curious about what comes next in the series.

I love it when sequels are better than the original! For now on, I'm referring to myself as Sarah Mott T.E.

An amazing second book in the oz series . You meet some very interesting characters, and you follow the story great characters and meet some old and new faces. Great book for any one into wizard of oz and want to follow a great story

This was another fun OZ book.
Introducing a new group of characters, but bringing back a couple of the old favorites.
Magic, witches, sorcery, conflict, and adventure galore!
This had a great bit of a twist at the end as well, which I will not ruin, but it is one that I did not see coming. Some things in the book are very convenient to be able to rescue the heroes, but at this day and age, that was the norm so no harm, no foul.
An enjoyable read.

Reading this aloud to my youngest. Mr Baum was apparently unconcerned with continuity, as a number of details are different from the first book. The story is mostly as I remember it, with a few parts which had escaped my recall. Good for younger children as a chapter a night bedtime story. 

A fine fantasy romp through the land of Oz, the beliefs and sentiments of the characters are reflective of the time period in which it was written. This is most evident in reference to General Jinjur's army of revolt, which makes it clear that Mr. Baum was not a supporter of female sufferage.
