Trouble Under Oz

Big trouble is brewing under Oz! Sinister clouds boil ominously over the Emerald City. Dorothy has gone missing and there are rumblings of rebellion in the Nome Kingdom. So a desperate plea for help goes out from princess Ozma to two resourceful sisters from Kansas through the magic snow globe that helped bring them to Oz once before.

But the girls face troubles of their own at home, and only one of them can answer Osma’s call. It's up to Dori to prevent a war deep in the caverns of the Nomes, while Em tries to do the same between their parents. It's hard to say who has the tougher job.

Written by acclaimed fantasy author Sherwood Smith, and adorned with marvelous, full-page, black-and-white. illustrations by William Stout, TROUBLE UNDER OZ is the second adventure featuring Dori and Em, two modern-day descendants of Dorothy Gale. The girls find themselves drawn even deeper into the affairs of the magical land, the first visited in the EMERALD WAND OF OZ.

Sherwood Smith began making books out of taped paper towels when she was five years old, and at eight began writing stories about another world full of magic and adventure—and hasn't stopped yet. She has published more than two dozen books.

William Stout is a collector of books on the late 19th century artists as well as turn-of-the-century children’s books, and owns a complete collection of all of the original Oz color-plate books, including a first edition of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
