Yes, it’s a kids book but every now and then I want brain candy.

I’ve read the Baum books since childhood and every now and then grabbed one by another author. This is the first book that has come close (for me) to the originals.

Great story to read with children. My boys were sucked in and didn't want me to stop reading! It makes us all want to read the collection of books about the land of Oz, starting with "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz"!
