To make Oz a free land again, Amy Gumm was given a mission: remove the Tin Woodman’s heart, steal the Scarecrow’s brain, take the Lion’s courage, and then Dorothy must die….

But Dorothy still lives. Now the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked has vanished, and mysterious Princess Ozma might be Amy’s only ally. As Amy learns the truth about her mission, she realizes that she’s only just scratched the surface of Oz’s past-and that Kansas, the home she couldn’t wait to leave behind, may also be in danger. In a place where the line between good and evil shifts with just a strong gust of wind, who can Amy trust-and who is really Wicked

Dorothy Must Die, the first book in Danielle Paige’s epic fantasy-adventure series, was a New York Times bestseller praised as being both faithful to L. Frank Baum’s original Oz books and an exciting reimagining, perfect for teens and adults. Kirkus Reviews said, Readers of Baum’s books will take special delight in seeing new twists on the old characters, and USA Today raved, Gone are the days of rainbows, Lollipop Guilds, and pretty much anything to sing about in a major key. For those willing to go on a quest with a heroine more attuned to our times than the Dust Bowl era, there’s no place like it. Fans of Marissa Meyer’s Cinder, Alex Flinn’s Beastly, and Gregory Maguire’s Wicked are sure to flock to this daring twist on a classic.
