"The Marvelous Land of Oz is so much so that I have vowed to devour all of the subsequent Oz books in order, as they appear in my Grandmother's Oz library, bequeathed to me, but now on permanent loan to my bro's young family!

And I swear I'll never touch Pumpkin Pie again.

You see, Jack Pumpkinhead is my favourite character in this Aspie's PARADISE of Oz! Tip made him frighten the living daylights out of his Evii Witch Guardian when she vows she will
curse Tip with a life as a dumb, dead marble statue, the next day.

When she is sawing wood that night in loud snores, Tip steals her magical powder that gives life to lifeless things.

Eureka - Jack Pumpkinhead can talk!

And Tip is his Beloved Young "Dad." Yikes, says Tip - a Tweenie - but so be it. Together, they commence the long escape to Oz on foot.

They are joined by The Sawhorse, a carpenter's cutting aid - whom Tip magically makes alive. In the Audible Audiobook, which you can get for peanuts, the Sawhorse speaks English with a charming Georgia drawl!

Jack Pumpkinhead, whose wooden joints (remember, Tip has made him with wood) ache terribly after a while, sits astride the Sawhorse till they reach Oz.

Well, the Emerald City has been attacked by an Army of Feminists, who rule by reason rather than by Divine Right!

The Strawman, whom The Wizard of Oz has named King of Oz, is in exile.

He joins forces with Tip & Co to negotiate with the Rebel Girls' Leader...

All in All, the whole book is a delectable Kids' Treat!

Did I say delectable? Well, I've vowed never to touch Pumpkin Pie, ever again.

After all, it's unavailable here in Oz -

As the Girls never BAKE anymore!"

"ARC received!!! I love you, Atria!!



I think this sounds so incredibly interesting. I cannot wait to dive into it. It certainly sounds like a dinner party to remember! If you make it out alive..."
