In Oz, he meets the Scarecrow, the current ruler, and finds that Oz is being overtaken by an army of girls. Tip and his new friends go to find help to save the city, meeting adventure on the way. But can they, along with their new found friends, convince the army to leave the Emerald city?

Be aware, however, that like The Wizard of Oz, The Land of Oz is a very weird book. It has many strange places and people, ones that the reader will either fall in love with, or be confused by.
