About this book
Washed overboard in a storm, Dorothy Gale of Kansas finds herself adrift in a chicken coop with a talking yellow hen named Billina. They land in the mysterious Land of Ev, a fairy realm neighboring Oz. There, Dorothy discovers a clockwork man named Tiktok and learns of a tragedy: the entire royal family of Ev has been enslaved by the Nome King. When her old friend Ozma of Oz arrives, they embark on a quest to the Nome King's underground kingdom. To free the prisoners, they must accept a deadly challenge: guess which ornaments in the King's palace are the enchanted royals, or be transformed themselves. With the help of a clever hen and unexpected courage, Dorothy faces a battle of wits against a seemingly invincible foe.
