Some roads lead somewhere. The road to Oz leads everywhere a child could wish to go. In this fifth installment of L. Frank Baum's beloved series, Dorothy Gale finds herself once again whisked away from Kansas, this time joining forces with the Shaggy Man, the mischievous Button Bright, and Polychrome, daughter of the Rainbow, on an enchanted journey to the Marvelous Land of Oz. Their path winds through peculiar kingdoms and strange encounters, each step revealing new wonders and gentle dangers. What begins as a simple quest becomes a meditation on the joy of being lost, the strange magic of companionship, and the kindness that transforms strangers into family. Baum writes with the confident warmth of a storyteller who knows that children deserve a world where the impossible is simply another Tuesday, where rainbows have daughters, and where the road home is always worth finding.
