There are a lot of bits that I love in my book, Dorothy Must Die. Upon arriving, Amy is immediately inducted into The Revolutionary?Order of the Wicked, a group of not-so-wicked witches that are?determined to rid their land of Dorothy. The Scarecrowuses his brain to conduct inhumane experiments on the winged monkeys, the Tin Woodmanis a trained killer whose “heart” justifies his every action, and the Lion’s “courage” has jumped the shark –he’s terrorizing Oz, hyped up on the fear of others like a drug. The very things that they once travelled a Yellow Road to get are now the things that corrupt them. Her friends have changed, too, but they are still just as loyal to her. She’s kind of super-evil and ruling Oz with an Iron fist and those magical shoes of hers. Gone is the Technicolor, instead there is crumbly faded, Yellow Brick Road! And Dorothy is no longer Kansas sweet.
But Oz is nothing like the one in the books or the movie, it’s darker and twist-ier. She gets her wish, where her trailer is picked up by a tornado and she is dropped in Oz. I’ve been recruited by the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked.ĭorothy Must Die is the story of Amy Gumm, an outcast in her hometown of Mission, Kansas who wants more than anything to beanywhere but there. My name is Amy Gumm-and I’m the other girl from Kansas. They say she seized power and the power went to her head.
They say she found a way to come back to Oz.
There’s still the yellow brick road, though-but even that’s crumbling.ĭorothy. To be a place where Good Witches can’t be trusted, Wicked Witches may just be the good guys, and winged monkeys can be executed for acts of rebellion. But I never expected Oz to look like this. I know the song about the rainbow and the happy little blue birds. I didn’t ask to be some kind of hero.īut when your whole life gets swept up by a tornado-taking you with it-you have no choice but to go along, you know? Danielle Paige is joining us today with her novel Dorothy Must Die.
