The author’s message was to never give up. No matter what dangers Dorothy and her friends faced, they kept on searching for the Wizard of Oz. On the way, they faced many monstrous creatures: Head-butting Mountain Keepers, Flying Monkeys, Killer Bees and many more. They went through all that just so that they could reach the Wizard of Oz.
I would say that it is a very adventurous book. There are many both fascinating and interesting magic creatures. And that they will be surprised at who the wizard of Oz really is.
I feel sort of happy for Dorothy and her friends, as they had all the ‘wants’ they wanted ever since the beginning of their quest. Dorothy got back to her home. Scarecrow got his ‘brains’. Tinman got his ‘heart’ and Lion got his ‘courage’.
The funniest part was when an entire swarm of Killer Bees came after them but Tinman protected his friends by letting them sting him, which results in breaking their stingers. The saddest was when Dorothy never got her gift from Oz, and the most exciting was when Dorothy met Scarecrow…it was also kind of weird when she saw a talking scarecrow.
