The Patchwork Girl of Oz by L. Frank Baum
5.0
A great return to form for Baum and Oz- after three or so middling Oz stories (well, it’s Oz, so even “middling” is timeless, classic and thoroughly iconic) we finally have another fantastic children’s story.
Ojo the Munchkin has to save his beloved Uncle who’s been transformed into a marble statue, and he’s joined in his adventure by a delightful Patchwork girl named Scraps. Scraps is a particularly interesting Oz character, and the story is full of wonderful and interesting adventures. I think the classic Oz characters are also particularly well utilized here.
Although, I’ll never get over how casually that poor Glass Cat was lobotomized and nobody seemed to care much about it at all.
