A review by romankurys
The Scarecrow of Oz by L. Frank Baum

3.0

I find myself unable to leave the magical fairyland of Oz for good. There’s always a random time when I go: “Oh, I wonder what’s happening in Oz.” And then BaM in transported there.

This time for the 9th time.

Fun Fact: after a little bit of research I discovered that even after Baum’s death the series kept on going up to about 50 different Oz tales.
+ there’s the famous Macguire’s “Wicked” series. (Yes! That’s series too!)
+there’s that “Dorothy Must Die” series.
+ whatever else I might not have discovered yet.

It looks like I’m going to be returning to Oz for quite awhile and I’m not complaining.

Sometimes that is exactly what I need. Even as an adult. A good, solid, fun fairytale.

This is exactly what this was.
We got Captain Bill, we got Button Bright back, we got a new heroine, we got a bundle of the most random of adventures as per usual + Oz!

If you’ve made it all the way to this book, there really is not much to say here.
Keep at it :)

If this is your first Oz book...WHY???
No, really, WHY???

Go back immediately and start at the beginning!
You don’t want Santa to bring you coals, do you???
