that The Shaggy Man and his brother and Ojo, Unc Nunkie, and Dr Pipt had been featured too much recently to be ratethan a mention, whereas Scraps had caught the imagination of his correspondents It

this Oz book is that it has all the main characters adventuring together the entire huge ensemble of them as they search for Ozma.ETA 2018 The above point still stands it is nice to see the stable of

most of the characters you know and love from the series and a sharp narrative angle We sped through it because my kids were really interested to hear what happened next I think we finished the final
