Return to Oz novel by Joan D Vinge

 Synopsis 

OZ IS

Of that Dorothy Gale was sure.

No matter what Aunt Em and Uncle Henry had tried to convince her that her visit to the magical land was all in her mind, merely the result of the head injury she suffered during that dreadful tornado.  Now she must put all the thoughts of OZ behind her and deal with the real world...

And they almost had her convinced...

Then Dorothy found a key with the OZ insignia on it, and she knew OZ was real and that her friends she left there - the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Woodman, and her beloved Scarecrow - needed her.

During a raging storm, Dorothy is hurled back to OZ, which now lies under the spell of the evil Nome King and his accomplice the wicked witch Mombi.

Together with her faithful companion Billina the talking hen, Dorothy sets out on an adventure filled with excitement fraught with danger, to find the rightful ruler of OZ!
