When a wild tornado hits Dorothy’s home in Kansas, she and her sidekick pup, Toto, wake up a very long way from home. Suddenly in a new and mysterious land, Dorothy and Toto must find their way through the enchanted land of Oz with the hopes of making it to the famous Emerald City.

Despite her new friends’ shortcomings, Dorothy learns that she must cast aside her differences and work with them to reach the Emerald City and find Oz. Though the road is winding and uncertain, Dorothy’s only hope is to trust her new friends and follow the path before them.
