Danielle Paige Libri

Il primo libro di una nuova serie oscura che reimmagina la saga di Oz, dall'autrice esordiente Danielle Paige. Non ho chiesto nulla di tutto ciò. Non ho chiesto di essere una sorta di eroina. Ma quando la tua vita viene travolta da un tornado—portandoti con sé—non hai altra scelta che seguirlo, lo sai? Certo, ho letto i libri. Ho visto i film. Conosco la canzone dell'arcobaleno e dei felici uccellini blu. Ma non mi aspettavo che Oz apparisse così. Un luogo dove le Streghe Buone non possono essere fidate, le Streghe Malvagie potrebbero essere le vere buone, e le scimmie alate possono essere giustiziate per atti di ribellione. C'è ancora una strada di mattoni gialli—ma anche quella sta crollando. Cosa è successo? Dorothy. Dicono che abbia trovato un modo per tornare a Oz. Dicono che abbia preso il potere e che questo le sia salito alla testa. E ora nessuno è al sicuro. Mi chiamo Amy Gumm—e sono l'altra ragazza del Kansas. Sono stata reclutata dall'Ordine Rivoluzionario delle Streghe Malvagie. Sono stata addestrata a combattere. E ho una missione: rimuovere il cuore di latta. Rubare il cervello dello Spaventapasseri. Prendere il coraggio del Leone. E—Dorothy deve morire.
