Prepare to embark on an exhilarating and daring escapade through the mystical realm of Oz, in this thrilling sequel to my previous adaptation of the enchanting book by L. Frank Baum, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. In Return to the Land of Oz, the fearless Dorothy Gale sets foot once more in the captivating Land of Oz, only to discover a realm in disarray, far from the way she remembered it. No longer is the King Scarecrow seated upon the throne, for it has been usurped by the malevolent Queen Roquat and the cunning Princess Mombi. These devious rulers not only hold the land captive but also conceal the true heiress to the throne of Oz, the rightful Princess Ozma. Stand alongside Dorothy as she forges alliances with both familiar faces and newfound companions, embarking on a quest to liberate Ozma and the entire land of Oz from the clutches of these tyrannical monarchs. Brace yourself for an odyssey filled with peril and valor, where courage and friendship shall be tested in the face of overwhelming adversity.

***
Loosely based on the second and third books in the Oz series by L. Frank Baum, "The Marvelous Land of Oz" (1904) and "Ozma of Oz" (1907), I have once again used some characters from the 1985 film "Return to Oz" in my illustrations. This choice made once again because of the appearance of the main characters in that film more resembling the ones used in the original Oz book illustrations crafted by W.W. Denslow and John R. Neill, than other Oz films.

In this adaption, I have also merged the characters of Mombi from "The Marvelous Land of Oz" with Princess Langwidere from "Ozma of Oz," echoing the creative fusion of that character seen in the 1985 film. However, the character of the Nome King has been reimagined as Queen Roquat, a female ruler whose name pays homage to the real name of the Nome King in his early book appearances. Many other changes to characters and events from the books can be seen throughout my adaption as well.

INCOMPLETE; UNEDITED Hortensia Buckets is an eleven-year-old attending Crunchem Hall, and it's safe to say she hates it. After her latest encounter with the Trunchbull, she is left with a smoldering spark in her chest. She wants to fight back, but she can't do it alone. The little troublemaker has her own fears and anxiety, and it's not something she can do alone. She'll need the help of the entire school to fight against the Trunchbull-- her greatest bully, her abuser. "There's no escaping tragedy." Matilda Wormwood is a five-year-old genius. Able to read, speak, and do computations beyond what even most middle-schoolers can do, she is a natural prodigy few can recognize. Her own parents are the most blind to her talent, only seeing her as a heavy burden and a useless little thing, neglecting her greatly. When she steps foot into Crunchem Hall, she knows what has to be done. "Sometimes, you have to be a little bit naughty." Miss Honey is the teacher of the lowest form, hiding her secret between her and the Trunchbull from everyone. She recognizes talent when she sees it, and she can see the spark in Matilda's eyes. Even if the Trunchbull and her rotten parents won't see it, Miss Honey will see to it that Matilda gets the attention she deserves. "It's not a lot, but it's enough for me." When Matilda and Hortensia recognize each other's burning desire to fight back, the two agree to start a rebellion. To fight back. But a few obstacles stand in their way. ______________________________________________________________ This book is based off of both the book Matilda by Roald Dahl and the 2022 Matilda the Musical. I own only the plot and some of the OCs. Many of the scenes and songs are borrowed from the book and movie. A majority of the characters and other elements of the story all belong to the musical and book; I own very little of anything. TW/CW for mentions of neglect, abuse, blood, and other harsh topics.

***WINNER of the "BREATHTAKING: A FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL WRITING COMPETITION!" "You are a secret kept from the world, but not from me." So begins the peculiar message found slipped under a bedroom door on the morning of May first. Theo is the heir to a powerful dictatorship. The number of people allowed to know he exists is few. He has spent his entire life walled up in the Tower, the looming stone monolith from which his father rules over the Land. Merryn is the daughter of political prisoners. She's known who Theo is longer than he would think possible, and she is taking a great risk contacting him via handwritten notes in order to convince him he deserves more than the fate his father has designed for him. She has one month to exchange daily messages with him, to answer his questions and open his eyes to the realities of a world he has never been allowed to see. A revolution is coming to the Land at the end of the month, and if Merryn's notes fail to get their point across, Theo may never live to see the sunrise on June first. A/N: The following letters were originally published each day from May 1st-31st, 2014. As you will see,Theo is allowed to write down a question for Merryn each evening, but you, the reader, won't see these within the body of the story. It may or may not be obvious from Merryn's response what Theo is asking. Part of the fun is guessing what his questions might be, but if you really want to know what they are, a list of those questions is at the end of the story. This story is a re-imagining of Rapunzel. Now, without further ado-I believe a young heir is about to unfold a slip of paper found on the tile floor near his door... Let's see what it says!
