Gnome King of Oz

The Gnome King has broken loose from his island prison, and Oz has never been more delightfully chaotic. When the irascible monarch escapes Runaway Island and begins sowing magical mischief across the land, the beloved Patchwork Girl vanishes from the Emerald City, leaving Dorothy and her friends to navigate a crisis with no obvious solution. Queen Ozma's very rule hangs in the balance as the Gnome King's unpredictable schemes threaten to unravel everything they've built. Thompson wrote twenty-one Oz sequels with unbridled imagination and mischievous wit, and this installment captures her at her most playful. The Gnome King is no mere villain, he's a force of chaos who exposes the fragility of even the most magical kingdoms. What follows is a breathless adventure through enchanted forests, underground kingdoms, and the impossible landscapes that make Oz unlike any other fantasy world. This is for readers who crave wonder without shadow, who believe magic should be as unpredictable as it is beautiful.
