The  Road  to  Oz 
By  L  Frank  Baum  (1856-1919) 

The  Road  to  Oz  takes  Dorothy  and  her  friends  on  an 
adventure  in  Oz  to  a  grand  party  in  honor  of  Ozma's  birthday. 
It  all  starts  near  her  home  on  Uncle  Henry's  farm  in  Kansas 
when  she  tries  to  help  a  shaggy  stranger  find  the  road  he  is 
seeking.  On  the  way  they  find  a  young  boy,  Button-Bright, 
and  together  they  get  lost,  only  to  find  themselves  in  the 
fairylands  of  Oz. 

Once  again  in  the  Land  of  Oz,  Dorothy  and  her  friends  encounter  a  number  of  new 
fantasy  characters:  some  good,  some  bad,  some  amusing,  and  all  entertaining.  They 
make  their  way  eventually  to  the  Emerald  City  to  participate  in  Ozma's  Birthday 
Celebration.  In  the  end,  Dorothy  arrives  safely  back  home,  a  little  tired  from  her 
adventures,  but  quite  content.  (Summary  written  by  Kara  Shallenberg)
