Wonderful Wizard of Oz

A Kansas farm girl is plucked from her gray prairie life by a tornado and dropped into aTechnicolor world of impossible beauty. To find her way home, she must follow the yellow brick road to the Emerald City and confront the mysterious Wizard of Oz. Along the way she collects three extraordinary companions: a Scarecrow who wants brains, a Tin Man who longs for a heart, and a Cowardly Lion who needs courage. What begins as a simple quest becomes something deeper: a story about the terror of being lost, the friends who help you survive, and the uncomfortable truth that what you're searching for might already be yours. Baum wrote this in 1900 to give American children a fairy tale of their own, and in doing so he created something that has lived in the cultural imagination for over a century. It's a story about going home, but also about discovering that home isn't just a place - it's the people you choose and the journey that changes you.
