The Wicked Will Rise / Danielle Paige / 293 pages

"Even in the best of circumstances, every bit of brightness in Ox was balanced out by something dark."  When a tornado swept through her Kansas trailer park, Amy Gumm was whisked away to Ox...not the Oz portrayed in books or on the screen but a wicked Oz, where Dorothy, Glenda, and the Wizard are evil and the wicked witches are trying to restore order.  Amy's failed assassination attempt and the burning of Oz causes her to flee for her life...and perhaps for the life of Oz. 
This is the sequel to the New York Times bestseller, Dorothy Must Die!.   There is another book coming as our main characters were surreptitiously deposited back in Kansas...along with several witches...problems are yet to be resolved.  Wow!  With all the action and special effects, this would make an arresting movie.  Spoiler alert...clever...some raunchy language....
