On the day of Dorothy’s trial, a witch appears in her prison cell and asks if Amy will help overthrow Dorothy. She imprisons Amy because she’s from Kansas and sets a trial for the following week when Amy will no doubt be found guilty.

The Tin Woodman transports Amy to Dorothy’s palace in the Emerald City, where Amy meets Dorothy, who is beautiful on the outside but is revealed to have a hardened heart. The monkey runs away, and the Munchkin is killed. After plucking apples from an orchard, the Tin Woodman, looking like a thrown-together machine, arrives and takes Amy prisoner for daring to defy a ridiculous-sounding law. Ozma, the true ruler of Oz, disappeared with no explanation, and Dorothy oppresses the people of Oz and steals magic from the land, which is killing Oz. She meets up with a Munchkin and a wingless monkey, who explain that the people of Oz live in fear under Dorothy’s rule. Rather than bright and colorful, it is gray and dead-looking, and the further Amy goes down the road, the more she starts to feel something is wrong. Oz looks nothing like it was described in the stories. With no better option, Amy starts down the Yellow Brick Road, figuring she may as well follow in Dorothy’s footsteps. A boy assists her from the damaged trailer and advises her to go to Emerald City. When the trailer finally lands, Amy finds herself in the Land of Oz. The storm sweeps through the trailer park where Amy lives, detaching her house from its supports and propelling it into the air. Despite Amy’s protests, her mother goes out, leaving Amy alone with her mother’s pet rat. After a particularly bad day at school, Amy goes home to find the weather channel predicting a tornado. Sixteen-year-old Amy Gumm lives in Kansas, where she is bullied at school and lives with her absent mother. Frank Baum in the Oz books and is set in modern day.

I’ve been recruited by the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked.

My name is Amy Gumm-and I’m the other girl from Kansas. They say she seized power and the power went to her head. They say she found a way to come back to Oz. There’s still a road of yellow brick-but even that’s crumbling. To be a place where Good Witches can’t be trusted, Wicked Witches may just be the good guys, and winged monkeys can be executed for acts of rebellion. But I never expected Oz to look like this. I know the song about the rainbow and the happy little blue birds. But when your whole life gets swept up by a tornado-taking you with it-you have no choice but to go along, you know?
