The Marvelous Land of Oz (Dyslexia-Friendly Edition)

The second book in the beloved series by L. Frank Baum—now updated in dyslexia-friendly font!Originally published 120 years ago, this lesser-known but equally enchanting sequel to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is sure to continue the delights wrought by the first of L. Frank Baum's classic children's series. In The Marvelous Land of Oz, we are welcomed back to the Land of Oz after Dorothy Gale has been whisked back to Kansas. We are introduced to Tip, a young orphan boy who has been under the guardianship of a Wicked Witch, Mombi, for as long as he can remember. Tip plans to get his revenge with a wooden man that he has made using a jack-o'-lantern as a head. Unfortunately, the witch is not fooled and threatens to turn Tip into a statue using the "Powder of Life." Rather than staying to be turned into a statue, Tip runs away after stealing the Powder of Life from Mombi, using it to animate a sawhorse for Jack to ride. Thus begins Tips adventures as he journeys to the Emerald City, escapes revolts, and learns just who the true ruler of Oz is.This special edition from Common Classics is printed in 11 point OpenDyslexic font.
