The Hollow Man by Ted Lazaris

Dorothy Gale thought her days in Oz were over. But when she is pulled back into a land stripped of its laughter, she finds a kingdom “hollowed out” by a sinister new force.

The Hollow Man is more than a villain — he’s a trickster who feeds on names, twists riddles into traps, and whispers promises Dorothy desperately wants to believe. To defeat him, Dorothy must face not only Oz’s broken heart, but her own guilt for leaving it behind.

Joined by Aunt Em, Uncle Henry, the brave young Munchkin Nib, and her old companions — the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion — Dorothy’s journey takes her across haunted bridges, silent fountains, and the ruined Emerald City itself. Together, they must confront the Hollow Man in one final battle where courage, love, and laughter are the only weapons that matter.

A darkly whimsical adventure filled with suspense, heart, and triumph, The Hollow Man is a dazzling reimagining of Oz — one that will leave readers spellbound.
