Publisher Description
An Apple Books Classic edition.
Adventure takes a more mythic turn in Rinkitink in Oz, a thrilling fairy-tale quest filled with L. Frank Baum’s trademark whimsy and color. Prince Inga’s father protects their peaceful island kingdom of Pingaree with his three magic pearls. But when the island is invaded and conquered, Inga must flee with the cheerfully bumbling royal visitor King Rinkitink and use the magic pearls himself to save his parents and his home.
As the pair faces dangers and meets new allies—including some familiar characters for Oz fans—Inga must learn not only to use his new powers, but also his head when he loses those powers. Rinkitink in Oz steps beyond the Emerald City for a seafaring adventure that’s equal parts wit and wonder.

Timeless
I enjoyed my time with this book. It was very fun and silly. The characters were all lovable. I can understand how this book got so many sequels & movies. The tale is timeless and can be enjoyed no matter the decade.
Outstanding
Love the movie but the book beats it hands down.
Wow...
This book is pretty good. I wanted to read it because I am in our school play, The Wizard of Oz. The movie is fantastic, but VERY DIFFERENT. This is probably one time where I would say the movie is better than the book, but the book I'd definitely worth reading. I enjoyed reading it! (in 4 hours! Lol)
