The Patchwork Girl of Oz by L. Frank Baum

4.0

Very enjoyable Oz story! This introduces several new characters, including Ojo the Unlucky and Scraps the Patchwork Girl, as the title implies. I also really liked the Glass Cat and wish she had kept her attitude to the end. The usual deus ex machina of Oz, Glinda, doesn't even show up in the book but still fulfills her role from afar--minorly irritating, but Baum's books follow a set pattern by this point, and if his young audience of the time loved it, he saw little reason to depart from it.
