Ojo in Oz (Wonderful Oz Books, No 27) (Ballantine Bks Trade)

When Ojo, everyone's favorite Munchkin boy, is kidnapped--first by gypsies and then by a roving robber band--he makes an adventurous escape in the company of two new friends: Snufferbux, the singing and dancing bear, and Realbad, the bandit chieftain with the mysterious past.

Then an awesome encounter with the hideous Mooj reveals the unexpected and true identities of both Realbad and Ojo!

Praise for the Oz series

"Where the young stay young and the old grow young forever--these books are for readers of all ages."--Ray Bradbury

"The land of Oz has managed to fascinate each new generation. . . . The Oz books continue to exert their spell . . . and those who read [them] are often made what they were not--imaginative, tolerant, alert to wonders."--Gore Vidal

"I was raised with the Oz books, and their enchantment, humor and excitement remain with me. They are still a joy and a treasure. I welcome this Oz revival."--Stephen R. Donaldson
