Ozma of Oz

Dorothy Gale returns to Oz in this third book in the series, and this time she meets mechanical man Tik-Tok, Billina the chicken, Wheelers, the Nome King, and Princess Ozma. This time she goes with her friends to rescue the royal family from the Nome King.

This is my favorite book in the series so far...

It's a bunch of brightly coloured characters going on silly and surreal adventures, what's not to like?

Ozma of Oz is the third book in the OZ series, and the second featuring Dorothy Gale. It is set with a cast of both old and new characters. Notable new characters include wheelers, ticktock, gump, Mombi, the royal family of ev and the gnome king.

Much of this story was the basis for the 1985 film return to oz. Unlike the film, the book continues the choppy pace of the oz series. This book is actually the fastest of the three. There are lull points and i didn't like Ozma or Dorothy. Maybe it has to do with their age, but both girls felt like entitled brats. Bellina the chicken was my favorite.
