An Apple Books Classic edition.
The second entry in L. Frank Baum’s beloved children’s fantasy series spills over with kooky characters, topsy-turvy logic, and powerful magic. Orphan boy Tip is tired of living with Mombi, a petty and mean-spirited witch. But when his plan to frighten her with a jack-o’-lantern goes wrong, she sends him and his newly animated friend—now named Jack Pumpkinhead—running for their lives.
As they’re tossed from one adventure to the next, Tip and Jack encounter everything from Wishing Pills and life-giving powder to an army of girls on its way to overthrow the Emerald City. With its wild inventions, joyful reversals, and sly nods to the era’s suffragist movement, The Marvelous Land of Oz expands Baum’s enchanted world into something even stranger, funnier, and more alive.
