"Maguire's work is melodic, symphonic, and beautiful; it is dejected and
biting and brave. How great that people flock to these magical
novels."
--Los Angeles Times Book Review
Bestselling author Gregory Maguire's remarkable series, The Wicked
Years, comes full circle with this, his fourth and final excursion
across a darker, richer, more complex landscape of "the magical land of
Oz." Out of Oz brilliantly reimagines L. Frank Baum's world over the
rainbow as wracked with social unrest--placing Glinda the good witch
under house arrest and having the cowardly Lion on the lam from the law
as the Emerald City prepares to make war on Munchkinland. Even Dorothy
makes a triumphant return in Maguire's magnificent Oz finale--tying up
every loose green end of the series he began with his classic Wicked,
the basis for the smash hit Broadway musical.
