3.0 out of 5 stars A grand return for an Oz anti-hero, August 19, 2000

By	F. Orion Pozo "Orion Pozo" (Raleigh, NC USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

L. Frank Baum introduced the world to Queen Ann Soforth in his novel TIKTOK OF OZ where, bored of ruling her insignificant land of Oogaboo, she decides to raise an army and conquer the whole world. At that time, Tiktok and the Shaggy man of Oz prevent her from getting into too much trouble and help her safely back to Oogaboo. This time she leaves Oogaboo to find her missing parents whose mysterious disappearance had put the teenager on the throne. The Shaggy Man and Tiktok help her in the search. Along the way, Ann and the Oogaboo youths who volunteer to come with her have a lot of fun and learn some important lessons about relationships. Although they go through some interesting places in Oz, this book deals more with interpersonal relationships than wacky adventures in curious places. It is not one of the best Oz books. The artwork is basic. Although the characters are well developed, Oz just doesn't seem as magical in this story. On the positive side, the author tells not only the hidden history of Oogaboo, but also reveals some of the mystery of the Shaggy Man's past. It is a good book for children and a great addition to the reading list of die-hard Oz-ophiles.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Addition to the World of Oz, April 14, 1998

By A Customer

This is a great book, a nice exploration of a part of Oz Baum didn't visit much, and a fun story for all ages. Oz fans will get a kick out of it.
