Oz Odyssey II

by Roger S. Baum, Roger Stanton Baum

Overview

"The Oz Odyssey II"© is joining us with new and old Oz friends. Some, not so friendly, like Maelstrom. Maelstrom, oh yes, Maelstrom, a new character for Oz. She is a cousin of the Wicked Witches of the East and West. Maelstrom possesses a certain amount of evil magic. She teams up with the Nome King to create a spell that threatens Oz.

The story tests Dorothy and her friends, including Glinda. It pits Maelstrom and the Nome King against Glinda's powerful magic. There are four deserts that surround Oz, and they are formidable barriers between Oz and the outside world. Should anyone touch their sands they are immediately turned into sand themselves. One of these deserts is named THE DEADLY DESERT; it is one of the tools that Maelstrom is using to try to conquer Oz in the name of her cousin witches of the East and West.
