My Rating: 4/5
Review: My seven-year-old son and I read this together, and both of us thought it was weird but fun. It is very different from the movie, and I am quite surprised that someone like Tim Burton hasn't gotten a hold of it and given it a more accurate adaptation. Of course the biggest difference that everyone knows about by now is the fact that the slippers given to Dorothy were silver instead of ruby. Dorothy has a much bigger adventure on the written page than the silver screen. So many different beings to meet, three witches to have dealings with instead of two, and many many more intriguing things. There were just enough similarities to the movie that I think my son will get a kick out of watching it. He has also agreed to continue with the series, so that should be fun.
Book Description: Santore's version of the L. Frank Baum fantasy is highly visual yet faithful to the original story. Never before have the Land of the Munchkins been more enchanting, the forest of Oz more foreboding, or the Emerald City more magnificent. Santore's journey through Oz is a journey of color and beauty as well as one of excitment and adventure.
