But stepping onto The Yellow Brick Road I saw a million other possibilities stretching out in front of me, some darker and twistier than the Oz we are used to, and I couldn’t resist. As a fan of the books, Oz felt like sacred ground. It was a thrill for me to write Dorothy Must Die. And-Dorothy must die.ĭanielle Paige, author of Dorothy Must Die, shares her favorite Oz versions. And I have a mission: Remove the Tin Woodman's heart. I've been recruited by the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked. My name is Amy Gumm-and I'm the other girl from Kansas. They say she seized power and the power went to her head. They say she found a way to come back to Oz. There's still a road of yellow brick-but even that's crumbling. To be a place where Good Witches can't be trusted, Wicked Witches may just be the good guys, and winged monkeys can be executed for acts of rebellion. But I never expected Oz to look like this. I know the song about the rainbow and the happy little blue birds. But when your whole life gets swept up by a tornado-taking you with it-you have no choice but to go along, you know? The New York Times bestselling first book in a dark new series that reimagines the Oz saga, from debut author Danielle Paige.
