About this ebook
Within this third work of Baum's Land of Oz series, Dorothy's story is continued with her beloved companions and given further life with inventive new characters, including a talking hen named Billina and the Hungry Tiger. After being tossed from a steamship during a storm, Dorothy finds herself in the kingdom of Ev, where she becomes involved in a journey to the palace of the evil Nome King to rescue the Queen of Ev and her children. From dodging Wheelers to dangerous guessing games, Dorothy must overcome many obstacles to help the helpless and reach a happy ending in Oz. "Ozma of Oz" is a worthy component of a series of stories that have delighted children for over a century.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I couldn't finish this.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A fun sequel to the Oz series, by Baum himself. Quite enjoyable for all ages and it expands the Oz universe to the Kingdom of Ev, across the desert beyond Oz's borders. If you're a fan of the Wicked series, you'll see some of Gregory Maguire's inspiration in this book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Forget Dorothy, I wanted to be Ozma.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Talking chicken! With attitude! God, Baum, you were a crazy person.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is the third book in the L. Frank Baum’s Oz series of books. In this book, Dorothy returns to Oz with a yellow hen, not Toto. We also find out more about Princess Ozma in this book as well as more information about the Land of Oz itself. The story line in this book was combined with the story line in The Land of Oz, the second Oz book, to be the basis of the movie “Return to Oz.”
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Now this book I remember quite well—partly because much of the movie Return to Oz was based on it, but more because I'm sure I had to have read it several times when I was young. While I enjoy it quite a lot, and more than any of the other books it sets up further adventures, it's also very slight when it comes to things actually happening. Still, Ozma remains the best.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is my favorite of all the Oz books. It has a greally great plot as well as strange characters and funny situations. I wish Peter Jackson would take this on as his next movie project.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is my favorite of all the Oz books! It has so many memorable scenes---picking lunch and dinner pails off a tree, the princess with lots of different heads, finding enchanted people among rooms full of ornaments, the magic carpet over the desert to Oz, Billina the chicken...I really love it! I read it over just today for the who knows how many time!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Such a fun read especially when reading to kids. Baum introduces many new characters in this third book and Tik-Tok has to be the break out star here, but Bellina comes very close behind.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5There is no lack of adventure for Dorothy in this third book in the Oz series. She meets up with some old friends, but makes some new ones, too. Charming dialogue in this magical plot make this tale an entertaining one for young and old alike.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Not as good as the first, but a big improvement over the second book. Glad to have Dorothy back in the storyline.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Third in the Oz series, and the second book featuring Dorothy and Toto. Baum's books are a little dated but still a lot of fun.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5In high school (early 1990's) I read all of the Oz books that were written by Baum. While I loved each and everyone, Ozma of Oz remains ones of my favorite. In an era that still often portrayed females as helpless beings constantly in need of rescue, Ozma was a confident and self-assured leader who didn't need a man beside her (or as an authority, given that she's a teenage-like character) to validate her rule, her motives, and her knowledge.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The second of the books used to make up the Return to Oz movie, this is the story dealing with the Gnome King and guessing at his beautiful trinkets. Baum, as always, describes the locations and situations with the grace of a master live storyteller, making up his creations before an audience that hangs on his every word. Baum is the true Wizard of Oz. There's no doubt about that.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Really enjoyed this one a lot. Honestly, I enjoyed it more than the original (and A LOT more than some of Baum's other stories). Some really fun side characters (like Billina the hen) and some very funny plot points made it a very fun read.
