Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz
by L. Frank Baum
Dorothy, the fourth book in Baum's Oz series, returns to the land of magic and fantasy with her cousin Zeb, Eureka's kitten, and a pig named Jim. They encounter plant people living beneath Earth, and Dorothy reunites with the Wizard of Oz as she descends in her balloon. Later, invisible people in Voe Valley help them and they have to escape from several hostile mythical creatures to return to Oz. Baum's vivid imagination and creativity easily manifest themselves in this adventurous work, because it combines wonderful characters with a fun plot in a country immediately familiar and full of mysterious possibilities.
