Description
Oz book #49! By Rachel Cosgrove Payes, illustrated by Eric Shanower.
Originally written not long after The Hidden Valley of Oz, but rejected by a shortsighted editor at Reilly & Lee, it was finally published in 1993 by the International Wizard of Club. It tells the story of Singra, the Wicked Witch of the South, who who has awakened after a one-hundred-year enchanted sleep. Discovering that Dorothy has killed her cousins, Singra seeks revenge on her, but accidentally enchants Trot instead!
Meanwhile, Dorothy, aided by Percy, a giant rat, and Leon the Neon, a man formed from lighted neon tubing, seeks to thwart the the former Wicked Witch of the South. A suspenseful Oz tale balanced with humor and Eric Shanower’s outstanding illustrations make this a book all Oz enthusiasts will want to read!
