When Ellie McDoodle signs up to help with her school's production of The
Wizard of Oz, she never expected it to be so much work! There are sets
to help paint, costumes to plan, and then there's casting. When her best
friend Mo gets cast as Wicked Witch--and not the coveted Dorothy--Mo and
Ellie have their first big fight. As the student director, Ellie should
have helped her get the starring role, right? Mo thinks so.
Ruth McNally Barshaw's creative doodles take Ellie through her first big
drama production at school. And just like the main characters in Oz,
Ellie and her friends will find courage, heart, brains, and that there's
no place like home!
