Dorothy may have defeated the Wicked Witch of the West and returned home to Kansas, but all is not well for those who remain in the Land of Oz. In L. Frank Baum’s second Oz novel, readers are introduced to poor orphan boy Tip, who has been raised by nasty Wicked Witch Mombi. Finally escaping Mombi’s clutches after years of cruelty, Tip is joined by his enchanted companions, Jack Pumpkinhead and the Saw-Horse, on an adventure unlike anything they’ve ever experienced—and more dangerous than they could’ve imagined.
The Emerald City—once ruled by the kindly Scarecrow—has been taken over by the mean General Jinjur and her all-girl Army of Revolt. Fleeing the fallen city, Scarecrow and Tip’s band venture off to ask the Tin Woodman and Glinda the Good Witch for help. But they soon learn that the only one who can truly save the Emerald City is the last rightful heir to the throne of Oz: a princess who was hidden away long ago.
Now Tip and his loyal friends must find the lost princess before all of Oz is lost . . .

Dorothy will also have to face the wicked Nome King, who’s imprisoned the royal family of Ev.

After an earthquake swallows Dorothy and her kitten Eureka, they’re captured by the Mangaboo people.

They’re all on the road to Oz, but can they get there in time for Princess Ozma’s birthday gala?
Though Dorothy Gale has told them many stories about her frequent visits to the Land of Oz, Aunt Em and Uncle Henry have always thought she was merely a dreamer. But when Dorothy learns that her aunt and uncle are in danger of losing their farm, she makes arrangements with Princess Ozma to bring her guardians to Oz, where they can all live together in safety. While the Wonderful Wizard takes them on a fabulous tour of their new home, however, jealous Nome King Roquat plots to conquer the land.

Frank Baum’s Oz series features many familiar characters, including the Munchkins, the Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion, and the Tin Woodman, as well as imaginative new ones such as Miss Cuttenclip, whose paper dolls come to life, and the very proper rabbits of Bunnybury.
Ojo the Unlucky isn’t sure how he got his nickname, but he finds it fitting after a visit to Dr. Pipt the Crooked Magician. There, he learns about Dr. Pipt’s incredible Powder of Life, which has turned an old patchwork quilt into a living girl. But when Dr. Pipt’s Liquid of Petrification accidentally turns Ojo’s uncle into a statue, Ojo must seek out the magic ingredients that will bring Unc Nunkie back to life.
On his journey to the Emerald City to find a six-leaved clover, Ojo is joined by an arrogant Glass Cat, a four-legged Woozy, the resourceful Shaggy Man, and the Patchwork Girl herself. Along the way, Ojo meets a thoughtful Scarecrow, a caring Tin Woodman, and a kind young lady from Kansas named Dorothy Gale. And while gathering the life-saving ingredients isn’t easy, his adventures might just teach him that luck is what you make of it.
When Queen Ann of Oogaboo raises an army to take over Oz, Gilda the Good magically rearranges their path to send them into a fog. Meanwhile, the Shaggy Man has gone in search of his brother Tik-Tok, who’s been tossed into a well by the wicked Nome King. On his journey, the Shaggy Man encounters Betsy Bobbin of Oklahoma, the Rainbow’s daughter Polychrome, a royal rose named Princess Ozga—and Queen Ann herself, who is very angry at being lost.
When Queen Ann hears of the Nome King’s fortune, she changes course and heads for his underground kingdom, taking Tik-Tok with her. Now, with his brother lost once again, the Shaggy Man’s adventure has only just begun—and he’ll need all the friends, magic, and luck he can muster.
With his talking goat, Bilbil, by his side, jolly King Rinkitink of Gilgad sails to the island of Pingaree, where he charms the royal family with merriment and song. But when the festive holiday is cut short by a surprise attack, only King Rinkitink, Bilbil, and young Prince Inga manage to escape capture.
After locating the magical Pearls of Pingaree, which give their possessors strength, invulnerability, and wisdom, the three friends set out on a voyage to the terrible islands of Regos and Coregos. But while enemy armies are no match for the combined powers of the three pearls, Rinkitink, Bilbil, and Inga face grave danger when two are lost. When Dorothy Gale and the Wizard of Oz hear of these events, will they be able to act in time to save the day?
One morning in the Emerald City, Dorothy Gale awakens to discover a series of baffling disappearances. Glinda the Good’s Great Book of Records has vanished, along with her magical implements. The Wizard of Oz discovers that his black bag of magic is gone as well. Most distressing of all, however, is the disappearance of Princess Ozma herself.
Organizing a series of search parties to find the princess, Dorothy and the Wizard—along with Dorothy’s good friend Trot and the young boy Button-Bright—set out on a perilous adventure through unknown regions of Oz. But they soon find themselves in the land of the powerful wizard Ugu, whose castle holds many dangers—and the secret to Ozma’s whereabouts.
In this magical tale from the author of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, fans of Dorothy Gale’s adventure not only learn how the Tin Woodman came to be, but also follow him and his good friend the Scarecrow as he goes in search of his true love, a beautiful Munchkin girl named Nimmie Amee.
As the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and a boy named Woot embark on their journey through the Land of Oz, they encounter inflatable loons, angry dragons, and a giantess who transforms them into animals for her own amusement. But their adventures take on new complications when they meet another suitor of Nimmie Amee—who was also transformed into a tin man by the Wicked Witch of the East. Now, if they ever do find Nimmie, which suitor will she choose?
Though Princess Ozma has ruled that no one but the Wizard of Oz and Glinda the Good may practice magic, a boy named Kiki Aru has discovered a powerful magical word—Pyrzqxgl—that only he knows how to pronounce. After transforming himself into a hawk to explore lands beyond Oz, his mischief soon wins him a villainous friend, Ruggedo the Nome, who plans to use Kiki’s power to take over Oz as revenge for his exile.
Out to gather provisions for Princess Ozma’s birthday celebrations, Dorothy Gale and the Wizard—along with the Cowardly Lion and the Hungry Tiger—have no idea what dangers lie in store for them. And when Kiki transforms them all, will they be able to stop Ruggedo’s devious plan?

But with both sides determined to fight, Dorothy and the princess soon find themselves held captive on the Skeezers’ island, which is covered in glass and submerged at the bottom of a lake.
The Skeezer queen, Coo-ee-oh, is the only one who knows the charm to bring the island back to the surface. But when she herself is put under a spell, it’s up to Glinda the Good to save the day—with a little help from the Wizard of Oz, the Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion, and the Tin Woodman.
