Glinda of Oz

Two rival peoples stand on the brink of war. A princess determined to preserve peace. A magical island whose greatest defence may become a deadly prison.When Princess Ozma learns of a bitter conflict between the Flatheads and the Skeezers, she and Dorothy journey to a remote corner of Oz hoping to prevent bloodshed. Their mission leads them to the remarkable glass-domed island of the Skeezers, ruled by the powerful and suspicious Queen Coo-ee-oh. Yet when the conflict erupts, unexpected magic sends the entire island beneath the waters of its lake, trapping Ozma, Dorothy, and the inhabitants far below the surface.With Ozma missing and the sunken island seemingly impossible to raise, Glinda gathers the Wizard and many familiar friends for an extraordinary rescue. Filled with rival kingdoms, transformations, strange magic, ingenious problem-solving, and adventures beneath the water, L. Frank Baum's Glinda of Oz is a captivating tale of courage, cooperation, and the determination to bring peace where anger and ambition threaten to prevail.
