Book description
In the pantheon of Oz, where rainbow roads lead to realms of wonder, Ruth Plumly Thompson spins her twenty-seventh tapestry of enchantment with "Ojo in Oz." Like a master weaver threading silver through golden fabric, Thompson continues the legacy bequeathed by Baum, crafting adventures that dance between the familiar and the fantastically new.
Here, young Ojo journeys through landscapes where logic bends like willow branches in enchanted winds. Each page-turn reveals communities bound by singular obsessions-places where inhabitants chase one gleaming dream until our heroes must either escape or transform. It's Thompson's signature rhythm: capture, participation, revelation, freedom.
The author's pen, dipped in both whimsy and necessity, paints elderly characters reborn with spring's fresh blush, their years unwinding like spools of silk. Love stories bloom where Baum's gardens held only friendship's pure light-a choice that sparked controversy then, yet reads now like honest longing given voice.
Thompson's boys stride where Baum's girls once wandered, their adventures salted with humor sharper than the Wizard's tears. Her prose carries the weight of a woman who wrote not just for children, but for the child within everyone-a woman supporting family through words that flew like magic carpets above Philadelphia's streets.
In this audiobook rendering, voices breathe life into Thompson's technicolor world, where every character carries the author's gift for making the impossible feel inevitable, the absurd perfectly logical. Listen as Ojo's journey unfolds-another jewel in Oz's crown, polished by Thompson's unwavering dedication to wonder.
