From the first chapter, I adored Dorothy Must Die. Our
heroine, Amy Gumm, is a snarky outsider on the bottom of the high school food
chain. She’s a misfit with bright pink hair and a virtually

absentee mother who
seems to care more about a pet rat than her daughter.
Fast forward through the oh-so-familiar-story of a tornado and
a crash landing, and we’re suddenly in Oz, saved and greeted by a hot,
mysterious guy with emerald eyes. Not such a bad landing after all.Dorothy Must Die is the fresh, sassy continuation of the fairy tale we all know and love. But Dorothy’s not so sweet and charming anymore. With lines blurred between wicked and good, the magic quickly depleting from Oz, and Dorothy’s old friends (Tin Man, Lion, and Scarecrow) policing the lands, it’s up to Amy Gumm to save Oz along with a quite unexpected group of mentors. And have I mentioned the goth munchkin?
This first novel in the Dorothy Must Die series is full of suspense and surprises that will leave the reader hanging on to every word. This story goes from funny to creepy in all the right places and gives a whole new meaning to the term “There’s no place like home”.
The remainder of the series can only get more intense from here as Amy tries to restore magic to the land of Oz. But first… Dorothy MUST Die.
