Dorothy Must Die - Danielle Paige

I saw this and just couldn't bring myself to leave it on the shelf unbought. I am a fan of all things Wizard of Oz and am an even bigger fan of classic stories being twisted and changed into something I never would have thought possible. Aside from the cover being beautiful, the blurb also caught my eye as something right down my twisting ally!!

'I didn't ask for any of this. 

I didn't ask to be some kind of hero. 

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? 

Sure, I've read the books, I've seen the movies. But I never expected Oz to look

like this. A place where Good Witches can't be trusted and Wicked Witches may just 

be the good guys. A place where even the yellow brick road is crumbling. 

What happened? Dorothy. 

My name is Amy Gumm - and I'm the other girl from Kansas. 

I've been recruited by the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked, 

and I've been given a mission: 

REMOVE

The Tin Woodman's Heart

STEAL

The Scarecrow's Brain

TAKE

The Lion's Courage

And Then - 

DOROTHY MUST DIE.'
