Emerald Wand of Oz

Meet, Em and Dori, two modern-day descendants of Dorothy Gale (Yes, that Dorothy) who follow in her famous footsteps to the magical land of Oz and adventure.

Dori loves reading all of the wonderful old Oz books, imagining what it would be like to meet the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Man, and the Scarecrow. Her younger sister, Em, thinks that believing in Oz is for babies and that the magical snow globe Dori claims was left to them by Dorothy Gale is just an old souvenir. But when a tornado suddenly deposits the sisters in a place were unicorns hold beauty contests, Nome princes walk through solid rock, and magic takes care of daily chores, they realize they're not in Kansas anymore.

Whether this is your first trip to Oz or you have visited many times before, prepare to be enchanted by Sherwood Smith's fresh new adventure!

Sherwood Smith began making books out of taped paper towels when she was five years old, and at eight began writing stories about another world full of magic and adventure—and hasn't stopped yet. She has published more than two dozen books.

William Stout is a collector of books on the late 19th century artists as well as turn-of-the-century children’s books, and owns a complete collection of all of the original Oz color-plate books, including a first edition of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
