About this ebook

There's a new wicked witch in Oz—and her name is Dorothy. This 125-page digital novella is a fresh and edgy sequel to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum and the prequel to the sassy new epic adventure Dorothy Must Die. No Place Like Oz, by debut author Danielle Paige, is a compellingly original reimagining of a beloved classic and is perfect for fans of Cinder by Marissa Meyer, Beastly by Alex Flinn, and Wicked by Gregory Maguire.

Dorothy clicked her heels three times and returned to Kansas. The end . . . or was it? Although she's happy to be home with Aunt Em, Dorothy has regretted her decision to leave Oz ever since. So when a mysterious gift arrives at her doorstep on her sixteenth birthday, Dorothy jumps at the chance to return to the glittering city that made her a star.

Setting off for the Emerald City, Dorothy is eager to be reunited with her friends: the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion. But she soon discovers that in the time she's been gone, Oz has changed—and Dorothy has, too. This time, the yellow brick road leads her down a very different path. And before her journey is through, Dorothy will find that the line between wicked and good has become so blurred she's not sure which side of it she's on.

Ratings and reviews

Book is uber great but it can only be read in your google play library. I saw no way to import it to my aldiko book reader so I cannot read this book on different device. That's an inconvenience to me.

This book is amazing however I had to buy it electronically. Unlike other people I absolutely love the smell and feel of an excellent book, not a swipe of a screen. Please actually publish this book like an actual book with pages and bindings!! Overall redonkulous read!!

Definitely loved how Dorothy's [SPOILER WARNING] wickedness progressed throughout. You're with her one moment and against her the next. Can't wait for Dorothy Must Die!
