The Marvelous Land of Oz by L. Frank Baum

4.0

Even if I preferred Dorothy as a protagonist over Tip, I really enjoyed this book! It is more absurd and fun than the first book, following the Scarecrow and the Tin Man as they must save the Emerald city from an army who seizes it with the help of a boy raised by the devious witch Mombi, a talking pumpkin and stick figure, and a horse made of wood. Even as an adult, I find this series to be fun and unexpected.
