About this ebook
A California earthquake sends Dorothy Gale and her new friends--Zeb the farm boy, Jim the cab-horse, and Eureka the mischievous kitten--tumbling through a crack in the ground. Deep beneath the earth, Dorothy is reunited with her old friend the Wizard of Oz and his troupe of nine tiny piglets.
Together, Dorothy, the Wizard, and their friends travel through many fantastic lands, where they encounter the Mangaboos, people growing like vegetables in the ground; cross the Valley of Voe, where dama-fruit has turned everyone invisible; and are captured by mysterious flying Gargoyles. At last, the intrepid travelers reach Oz, where they have many unforgettable encounters with such favorites as the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman, the Cowardly Lion and the Hungry Tiger, Princess Ozma and the wooden Sawhorse.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is the fourth book in the L. Frank Baum’s Oz series of books. In this book, as the name suggests, the Wizard returns to Oz. He and Dorothy find themselves drawn into the Earth and back to Oz. This is an interesting story that is a bit different from the other stories found in the series.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5
Maybe it was because I expected something for an older reader but I wasn't impressed with this book. In addition I did not realize they this was the fourth book in the series and did not actually know what was going on. Other than that I think the book was a little slow and if took way too long to finish this because I just couldn't get into it. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I was rather disappointed to see Dorothy make such a big comeback in the series considering I absolutely cannot stand her. Her character is written as weak and idiotic to the point of extreme annoyance and ridiculous sexism (seriously you really needed to say Dorothy fainted while Zeb did not because he is a boy).Plot-wise this book is rather random, but the adventures are interesting. As with the other Oz books, I would not recommend for very young children, considering some of the more violent scenes, but overall a fun adventure tale.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Another 'journey to Oz, meet strange people along the way' tale. Moderately interesting. Enjoyed the Wizard's reunion with Oz.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5More violence, which frankly make the books better. If you're going for that Grimm thing, you should just let people get chopped up or the whole thing feels weird. There are some mean people in this one. Including weird-ass vegetable folk.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I thoroughly enjoyed the original Wizard of Oz, and some of the others... but this book felt like it had been written by a 4th grader. I was glad this was not the first Baum book I'd ever read, or I would never have read any others. It had a very unfinished feel to it, like it needed to go back to the editor another time or two.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A wonderful story that brings back the Wizard of OZ and in the end it is decided that he should become a real wizard and not a humbug.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is the fourth book in Baum’s “Wizard of Oz” series of fantastical children’s adventure books.
We’re not in Kansas anymore! The book starts with Dorothy visiting California with Uncle Henry, when an earthquake opens a passage to another land. Dorothy, her kitten Eureka (Toto is nowhere to be found in this book), and her new friend Zeb fall through the crak along with the horse Jim and the buggy, eventually alighting in the Land of the Mangaboos (a people who grow like vegetables). There they meet up with the Wizard of Oz (whose ballon has again run away with him), and begin numerous adventures in their quest to get back to earth’s surface.
The series are enjoyable children’s books that have remained popular over generations, and are now in their second century. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This isn't as much of an Oz book as some, taking place mostly somewhere within the earth. Our main characters only make it to Oz near to the end. This doesn't mean that Baum's storytelling was wasted, however. Everyone goes on a typical Oz-like journey through all sorts of unusual countries, giving the reader's mind so much to work with in terms of creating a visual for the places that they should "see" in the text.Not a favorite in the series, but not a mistake at all, this book has all of the wonderful characteristics of an Oz story while introducing many new lands outside of Oz or its neighbors. Every turn in the adventure brings more to the imagination than could be possible with many other writers.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Dorothy and the wizard fall through a crack in the earth and eventually reach Oz. The climax of the story is the trial of the kitten Eureka for allegedly eating one of the wizard's nine performing piglets. It is rather a let-down.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5this is not the original baum book where dorothy meets the wizard, but a followup with new adventures. I gave it high ratings because of the imaginative entities dorothy and those with her meet. i also like the talking kitten, hen, horse, and nine little piglets the qizard carried around in his pocket. the water boogle professor, wise with all book knowledge, was a trip. the kitten in her laconic nastiness poured into the mould of a cat's personality in my mind.These so=called "children's books" resurrect the delight of imagination in me at 67 years of age and i hope children never never ever become so "sophisticated" to not enjoy them.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5If it wasn't for the ending trial this would have been a waste of time. Various episodes throughout with no real plot. It seemed like the author was just trying to bring all the characters together from the past three books.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not the greatest of the Oz books. True, we get the return of the Wizard, but it lacks the excitement and intrigue of the other books. It's not until the gang reaches Emerald City that the book gets really exciting. I did like the idea behind the Kingdom of the Vegetables, but the way it came out, and the journey before it and after just fell really really flat. The new characters, Jim and Zeb, also added absolutely nothing to the plot that we didn't already . But still, it's L. Frank Baum, so I can't rate it all that badly. Not to mention, the reunion of the Wizard with the rest of Emerald City was just amazing to read, because after the Wizard of Oz, who would have thought we'd ever see that reunion, right? Awesome!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The imagination of L. Frank Baum astonishes me. Just when you think he can't possibly come up with something new and unique, he did it again in this fourth book of Oz. Creative method of traveling back to Oz? Check. Interesting new people and dangers? Check. Lessons learned? Check. Then there's.. unusual things - such as walking on air, people made of vegetables, fruit that makes one invisible, miniature piglets and a whole slew of new characters to fall in love with (Eureka the Cat had me laughing). I think, however, one of my favorite parts of each of these books is quickly becoming the letter to his readers that Baum includes in the forward. His appreciation of the children, of their enthusiasm and his humble joy at the love for his characters make reading the book that much sweeter. Fun, fun addition to the books.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Dorothy and others are swallowed up by cracks in the earth, and fall into an underground cavern, where begin their adventures.Not much in the way of a plot. The best part was the trial of Eureka near the end.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was very well done. This volume follows Dorothy into another fairy world, this time being joined by her new kitten Eureka, her California cousin Zeb, his old horse Jim, and the wizard Oz with his nine miniature piglets. They make their way through multiple adventures in many lands, all in a quest to return to the surface world. Finally, they end up trapped just below their goal of the surface and call on Ozma to whisk them away to Oz when things seem hopeless. Eureka the cat and Jim the horse make bad impressions in Oz. There's a trial over Eureka trying to eat one of the nine piglets, which turns out to be untrue, and Dorothy, Zeb, Jim, and Eureka all return home. Oz stays in Oz and becomes Ozma's royal wizard. Ozma stays in charge. Happy story. Good book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was one of the first Oz books I ever read. I'll always remember the PINHEAD part!
