Waiting on Wednesday | Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine.




Release Date: April 1st 2014 from HarperTeen


S u m m a r y :
I didn't ask for any of this. I didn't ask to be some kind of hero.
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?

Sure, I've read the books. I've seen the movies. I know the song about the rainbow and the happy little blue birds. But I never expected Oz to look like this. 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. There's still the yellow brick road, though—but even that's crumbling.
What happened?
Dorothy. They say she found a way to come back to Oz. They say she seized power and the power went to her head. And now no one is safe.

My name is Amy Gumm—and I'm the other girl from Kansas.
I've been recruited by the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked.
I've been trained to fight.
And I have a mission:
Remove the Tin Woodman's heart.
Steal the Scarecrow's brain.
Take the Lion's courage.
Then and only then—Dorothy must die!

Reason for waiting:
If you know me AT ALL you know I don't have to say anything about why I chose this title for Waiting on Wednesday. YA hasn't seen a Wizard of Oz retelling in... well, ever so this is pretty exciting! I'm totally excited for this to release!


What are you waiting for this week?

  5. Watching EpicReads Tea Time has made me so excited for this book! I'll have to brush up on my Oz (I don't think I've even seen the film all the way through - shameful!). Plus that cover is cool :) thanks for sharing! :)

  7. This sounds so good! I really can't wait for it to come out. I'm a big fan of Wizard of Oz re-tellings. I've been to see Wicked more times than I'd care to admit!
