Mary Hughes has stepped up her game with Biting Oz. All of the crazy humor that I liked so well in Biting Nixie is in this book.  Of course it helps that Julian and Nixie play a supporting role in this book.  Junior, an only child in a family run sausage store,  has dreams of performing in New York in the pit orchestra of a soon to be remake of the Wizard of Oz on Broadway. If the play ever gets any patrons to see it.  The star of the show is the  ward of a very rich and powerful business man.  Accompanying her is a very large, very protective, and very handsome man, Glynn.  The attraction is instantaneous.  But Junior has no designs on becoming attached to this man,  she's going to leave Meiers Corners and make it on her own.  Unlike her mother she's not giving up her dreams to be tied to a man and a family business that occupies all of her time. That's why this show must make it.  Hughes gives her characters funny, delightful banter both internally and with each other. Add in a bunch of corny musician one liner jokes and you have a light crazy funny read.
