"The Marvelous Land of Oz" is the sequel to Baum's first novel, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz". The protagonist of the novel is an orphan boy called Tip. For as long as he can remember, Tip has been under the guardianship of a cruel Wicked Witch named Mombi who lives in the northern quadrant of Oz called Gillikin Country. Mombi has always been extremely mean and abusive to Tip. As Mombi is returning, Tip plans to rebel with the help of his friends Jack Pumpkinhead and Scarecrow.©2017 SAGA Egmont (P)2017 SAGA Egmont

Overt sexism and poor narration.

I was very disappointed in this follow-up to the original Wizard of OZ. The story contains overt sexism, in particular that girls are only interested in clothes and jewelry, and should stay home and definitely not participate in battles.

The narration was poor quality, with occasional errors and random pauses.

And they begin and end each chapter by saying that it's the end of the chapter and loudly reading the title again, as if the listener can't be relied upon to remember what book it is.

Very disappointed. Definitely don't recommend.
