The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a book that has it's own movie. Its about a girl names Dorthy that went on an adventure and as she is going through her journey she finds new friends but not the normal humans but scar crows, lion, and all these other characters. Dorothy goes through a lot dealing with the wicked witch because when her house went flying in the tornado it landed on top of the witches sister. Dorothy was known because of her red glittery high heels. She has to find the Great Wizard in order for her to go back home in Kansas.

The book has so much that the movie did not, however, that being said, it goes both ways. One part of the story I really missed from the movie was the traveling circus man who's character doubled as the Wizard later in the film. The book lacked some of those story points, but makes up for them with other back stories, alternative story lines (e.g. the story behind the flying monkies). Overall, still a classic, timeless fantasy not to be dismissed.

This book contains a charming tale that has many characters that I could all relate to in some way. Each of the characters had problems that I sometimes experience,( Being a Coward, Not having a brain). However at the end of the story the characters find out the truth and experience a positive change in themselves. This book was fun to read and was very inspiring.
