Interpretation In Favor Of Books The Magic of Oz (Oz #13)

In this witty and imaginative tale, the “Royal Historian of Oz,” L. Frank Baum, takes young readers back across The Great Sandy Desert for more exciting adventures in the wondrous Land of Oz. Old friends such as Dorothy, the Wizard, and the Cowardly Lion reappear, along with endearing new characters — the Glass Cat, the Hungry Tiger, Little Trot, Cap’n Bill, the Lonesome Duck, and others. Seeking special birthday presents to express their devotion to the wise and beautiful Princess Ozma, the friends venture beyond the Emerald City and into unknown territory. Little Trot and Cap’n Bill find themselves stuck — literally! — on an enchanted island, while Dorothy and the Wizard uncover a treasonous plot. It seems that Kiki Aru, the foolish son of a magician, and Ruggedo, the evil King of the Nomes, intend to recruit an army of forest-dwelling beasts, overthrow Princess Ozma, and enslave the citizens of Oz. Can Dorothy and the Wizard foil the conspirators’ plans and rescue their stranded comrades? You’ll find out in the pages of this exciting story. Graced by a wonderful array of original black-and-white drawings by John R. Neill, as well as 12 captivating full-color plates, this spirited tale will thrill readers of all ages.

Appraise Based On Books The Magic of Oz (Oz #13)

Well, this one wasnt a favorite. I enjoyed it in 6th grade when I read it the first time, but by and large Id rate it on par with DotWiz. While there are parts of the book, particularly those segments focused on the Magic Isle and the Magic Flower, that are wonderful...theres a lot of recycled stuff, such as our good friend Ruggedo and the party at Emerald City that just makes me feel blah.

Pretty typical fare for an Oz book at this point. The characters go on an unimportant quest (birthday's can't be a big deal in a land that never ages, right? nobody even knows how old Ozma is at this point), briefly meet some inventive but undeveloped creatures, get in a minor jam and then get rescued pretty quickly, and, once again, Baum seems to forget any and all tiny bits of change he's given these characters in previous books.The glass cat's brains are pink. Oh, and the Wizard of Oz and

I could've sworn I read all of Baum's original Oz books as a kid, but "The Magic of Oz" was too unfamiliar for this to be true. Not great literature, but a few creative elements -- the Lonesome Duck, the magic flower, the Glass Cat -- move this a bit above OK. 2.8/5Available on Gutenberg.

How irresponsible of Baum to include the magic word Pyrzqxgl in this book! Though he cautions the reader not to say it aloud, is that really going to stop anyone? Anyway, the story is interesting; the Nome King is back again, teamed up with a wicked Munchkin boy named Kiki Aru, who plans to use this magic word, which transforms whoever it is directed at into whatever the spellcaster wishes, to incite a rebellion of the beasts of Oz against the people. I suppose the reason they don't just turn

This had 2 little plots going through it. One with the magic flower and the glass cat, and the other with the naughty boy with the magic word. I liked this story especially.

While ferreting out the order of the books I happened upon the fact that this was one of the darker books of the Oz series, and I must agree. Now granted, darker is a bit subjective here, and it's not "King" or "Barker" dark, but for a children's book, it can get a somewhat grim. The story starts off with Kiki Aru stealing away some magical secrets put to rest by his family and using his new found transformation magic to run off and explore the world. He meets up with Rugedo the former gnome

I appreciated that this book had multiple story lines so as to keep the plot from getting dry. However, there seemed to be some continuity errors. In a previous book, I thought someone had taken away the Glass Cat's vanity so that she stopped repeatedly saying "I've got pink brains and you can seem 'em work!" - yet in this book that phrase is said often. Also, near the end, Professor H.M. Wogglebug, T.E. is talking about his invention of the Square-Meal Tablets as if this is the first time we've
