"Toto, I
have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore..."
When Dorothy Gale, a dreamy girl from Kansas began to wish she was
somewhere over the rainbow, she had no idea of what was about to happen.
She never expected a tornado to take her, her house and her little dog too
flying through the air to the marvellous land of Oz. She never thought it
would land on a wicked witch. She never imagined a good witch would give
her a pair of ruby slippers. And she would never have guessed that her
only way back to Kansas would be to follow a road of yellow brick to a
City of Emeralds, where a wonderful wizard would grant her wish.
Luckily, Dorothy has made new friends who will help her on her amazing
journey, even if they are a brainless Scarecrow, a heartless Tin Man and a
cowardly Lion. Not so luckily is the wicked witch's sister, now bent on
revenge on the little girl who stole her sister's ruby slippers...
