The Road to Oz (Enhanced‪)‬

Which road is the road to Oz? Dorothy finds out in this fifth book of the Oz series, when she tries to help a stranger with directions and wanders far from home, losing her way. She journeys with the Shaggy Man, whose "love magnet" helps out here and there as they encounter various adventures with King Dox, the City of Beasts, the Musicker, the Scoodlers, Johnny Doit, the Deadly Desert and more. And since all roads seem to lead to Oz, anyway (at least for Dorothy!) that's just where they end up, in plenty of time for the birthday party of its well-loved leader, the beautiful young Ozma. L. Frank Baum brings all kinds of characters back from the previous books, and introduces some new ones, for this grand affair.
