Read an Excerpt | Back to Books

Written fifty years ago, Rachel Cosgrove Payes's long-awaited second Oz book is available at last with all the adventure, magic, and humor that Oz fans have come to expect. Profusely illustrated in Eric Shanower's most intricate style--this book is an absolute must-have item!

The story introduces Singra, the Wicked Witch of the South, who is awake and scheming after a one hundred year nap. When the Magical Musical Snuffbox brings the Witch up to date on the Ozian events that transpired during her rest, Singra hears news that sets her on a path of revenge. And only a really wicked witch would plot to capture and trasform Dorothy Gale into a piece of cheese!

As Singra gathers ingredients for her spell, a chance encounter with the Scarecrow makes him her first victim. And when she reaches the Emerald City, a curious mistake throws a kink into her own master plan. But this wicked witch isn't about to admit defeat. Cleverly turning her error into an advantage, Singra is off--pursued desperately by Dorothy and Percy, the Giant White Rat. Both are intent on stopping the witch's schemes for power, and they are aided by Leon the Neon, a man formed entirely from lighted neon tubing. But can the three of them hope to combat Singra's extraordinairy magic and defeat the wickedest witch to menace Oz in many years?
