The Lost Princess of Oz (Books of Wonder) by L. Frank Baum

The Lost Princess of Oz (Books of Wonder) by L. Frank Baum is the 11th book in the oz series and tells the story of when ozma is missing from oz and the subsequent hunt to find her. Here is an all-star cast from the "olde" oz books and we get to follow Dorothy, Trot, Betsy Bobbin, Hank, the hungry lion and new friends like the frogman. The story is quite exciting and the plot is awesome with many twists and turns and the hunt for the lost ozma is thrilling and filled with marvelous adventures and I must say that it is one of the best book in the series so far. The illustrations are stupendous and the illustartor truly captures the spirit and essence of oz. I love this series and will read all of the oz books written by Baum and can not wait for the next book in the series.

A Lost Princess

The Lost Princess of Oz is one of L. Frank Baum's most imaginative books. It begins with a serious problem, Ozma's disappearance, and with many of the favorite characters. Yet in a parallel story, an early chapter takes us to the Winkie Country and introduces us to some delightful new characters, The Frogman and Cayke the Cookie Cook. We know that Cayke's stolen magic dishpan is somehow related to Ozma's disappearance.I love the role that Scraps, the Patchwork Girl, plays in this book. We meet some whimsical new villages and the beings who inhabit them. We pay attention to small details that are nonetheless important to those most affected by them, such as Toto's missing growl. Illusions are turned upside down and inside out, making us think. It's a delightful journey, all in all, one that I highly recommend.

A very good book.Baum at his best.

When Ozma and all the magic of Oz gets stolen everyone is upset, so the Ozites form search parties to find her.The book goes with Dorothy's group when they go on many adventures.You will be amazed at where Ozma is and who stole her.

This book had suspense and is one of my favorite Oz books.

A man named Ugu of the Winkies kidnapps Ozma along with her magic picture and Glinda's magic book. The Land of Oz will never be the same without them. Join Dorothy, Betsy Bobbin, Trout, Buttons, Scraps, and their friends as they go on a suspenful journey to bring back Oz's rightful rulers and restore peace to the land.
