All-Action Classics: The Wizard of Oz by B Caldwell

L. Frank Baum's classic fantasy looks fabulous in this vivid, high-octane graphic-novel rendition, filled with kid-grabbing details.

In this action-filled graphic adaptation of the visionary children's classic, the Yellow Brick Road has never seemed brighter, the Wicked Witch more evil, or the Land of Oz more magical. When a tornado snaps up young Dorothy, dumping her in Oz, she knows she's not in Kansas anymore. And when her only way home is with the help of an irate Wizard, Dorothy and her misfit friends embark on an unforgettable--and dangerous--journey.

Praise for the original edition of All-Action Classics: The Wizard of Oz "The text is brief and full of modern touches. . Dialogue is snappy, with a liberal use of humor and wisecracks. The animationlike artwork is full of movement . . . There is a cinematic feel that will appeal to young readers . . .this updated classic should find a different, and more welcoming, reception from kids." --School Library Journal

Baum, Lyman Frank: - Born in Chittenango, New York, Baum was an American author, actor, and independent filmmaker best known as the creator, along with illustrator W.W. Denslow, of one of the most popular books in American children's literature, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, better known today as simply The Wizard of Oz. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, first published in 1900, and produced for stage in 1902, was immortalized through the 1939 movie starring Judy Garland, and soon become an iconic part of American culture. A mix of fairy tale and fable, the moral of the story - that with the help of a few good friends, you can find all that you need within yourself- resonated with American audiences for many years. Baum was a prolific writer, who in addition to children's books, wrote plays, short stories, and fantasy under various pseudonyms, and was pressured by his fans into writing many sequels to his The Wonderful Wizard of Oz book.
