This book is definitely not the typical "Wizard of Oz" style story.  There are a few similarities, mostly in the characters' personalities; otherwise it is a completely different story altogether.  I was expecting to read a remake of the "Wizard of Oz" and was pleasantly surprised at the twists and turns throughout the story.  The characters are likeable and realistic, for the most part; and the magical element is plenty fanciful and strange.  My only negative is that I had to read slowly in a lot of parts and sort of absorb what was going on.  The story has a few parts that don't quite flow, otherwise I have to say the story is quite intriguing and interesting to read.  Overall a good YA fantasy by author J. A. Beard.*I received a free ebook copy of this story for this review.  My opinions are my own.  See my Policy & Disclosure on my blog - [...]
