The Wicked Years continue in Gregory Maguire's Son of a Witch--the
heroic saga of the hapless yet determined young man who may or may not
be the offspring of the fabled Wicked Witch of the West. A New York
Times bestseller like its predecessor, the remarkable Wicked, Son of a
Witch follows the boy Liir on his dark odyssey across an ingeniously
re-imagined and nearly unrecognizable Land of Oz--a journey that will
take him deep into the bowels of the Emerald City, lately abandoned by
the Wizard, and into the jaws of dragons. At once a grim fairy tale and
an uplifting adventure, Son of a Witch is a true wonder.
