About this series
Hopeless – the book that starts Dorothy's adventure in Oz
Dorothy is a middle-schooler who doesn't feel like she belongs anywhere.
Her life feels like she's caught in a tornado, pulled in different directions without any control. When feelings become reality, Dorothy discovers she needs to take action.
If following a yellow brick road gets her started, that is what she will do.
Author note
Growing up, I enjoyed two movie versions of this book, Judy Garland in Wizard of Oz and Diana Ross in The Wiz. When the authors in the PPR Collective talked about updating public domain books, I jumped at the chance to work on Baum's story.
Upon reading the book published in the 1920s, I found that the movies had strayed significantly and I wanted to also.
Oz opens the imagination. As I read the book, I wondered "What if…"
My mind reeled with many exciting ideas. So, taking inspiration from The Wiz and Amazon's Lost in Oz, I reimagined Dorothy and her friends on their journey through the Land of Oz.
Read carefully and you will find nods to the two movie versions I love. If you discover them, let me know either on my blog or my Facebook page.
Enjoy! This isn't your grandmother's Wizard of Oz.
