Not a big fan of this one. WHY DID YOU JUST CASUALLY GO WITH THAT STRANGE MAN, DOROTHY!!??
The first half of the book is fun-ish with adventures and monsters and such, but then the second book is like this mega Oz reunion special where we see where everyone is and how they’re doing, and there’s a Santa Claus cameo, and it’s basically just this meaningless parade of characters. Maybe little kids would like this.
I did enjoy Jack Pumpkinhead having graves for all his previous heads. It’s very goth.
