Super fun YA twist on the magical academy story setting, jumping into the world of OZ the characters were fun and had lots of personality. The story sometimes felt a bit fast but being YA that makes sense, loved the link to the sequel! The cover art IS STUNNING and the pages edges being yellow brick road is so cool, Looking forward to another!

A great Middle grader story about the son's and daughters of the protagonists from The Wizard of Oz and the trouble they get themselves into.
