Synopsis: The true hero of The Wizard of Oz takes center stage in this brilliant, delightfully snarky reimagining from the author of The Library of the Unwritten.I was mostly a Good Dog until they sold me out to animal control, okay?But if it&’s a choice between Oz, with its creepy little singing dudes, and being behind bars in gray old Kansas, I&’ll choose the place where animals talk and run the show for now, thanks.It&’s not my fault that the kid is stuck here too, or that she stumbled into a tug-of-war over a pair of slippers that don&’t even taste good. Now one witch in good eyeliner calls her pretty and we&’re off on a quest? Teenagers.I try to tell her she&’s falling in with the wrong crowd when she befriends a freaking hedge wizard made of straw, that blue jay with revolutionary aspirations, and the walking tin can. Still, I&’m not one to judge when there&’s the small matter of a coup in the Forest Kingdom.... Look, something really stinks in Oz, and this Wizard guy and the witches positively reek of it. As usual, it&’s going to be up to a sensible little dog to do a big dog&’s job and get to the bottom of it.And trust me: Little dogs can get away with anything.
