PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In the first sequel to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, a boy named Tip builds a pumpkin-headed stickman that he animates with magic and calls Jack Pumpkinhead. Their adventure begins when the two run away from Tip's evil-sorceress guardian, eventually finding themselves in the company of the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and Glinda the Good Witch, along with several other unusual folk, on a quest to determine the legitimate ruler of the Emerald City now that the Wizard has departed. Narrator Tara Sands lends the many characters distinct and appropriate voices. However, at times, her delivery is somewhat stiff and affected, almost like a teacher reading a picture book to small children, rather than an actress embodying a role. Ages 10 up.
Customer Reviews
Good book
I liked this book a lot. However, I discovered that there were several grammatical mistakes. The grammar was worse than mine and I am nine years old. I was surprised that such a good book would have such stupid grammatical mistakes.
Don't get it!
Ok, when I got book, I thought, you know, that it would be a thrilling sequel to 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz'. What I got were TEN pages of blank, copyrights, and 'how would you rate this to your friends?'. Believe me, don't get this book!
