"This novel serves as an excellent glimpse into Frank L. Baum's world of Oz! Read this book if you want to be magically swept away and utterly amused. The story has plenty of whimsy and wit without forgetting to include real peril. The Nome King, Roquat the Red, is seeking revenge and threatens to destroy the Emerald City and all of its inhabitants in the process! Dorothy and Princess Ozma must team up along with the rest of the city's residents to defeat the coming onslaught of Nomes, Whimsies, Growleywogs, and Phanfasms!"

    " I'm reading this to my daughter. It's not as good as I remember as a kid, but it is full of puns, which I love. "

    " Mr. Baum was obviously tired of writing books set in Oz at this point, and was trying very hard to find a way to end the series. There are two plotlines running through the book; a planned invasion of Oz and the emigration and acclimation of Dorothy and family to Oz. There's some very cute moments here, and the invasion plot is pretty well done. However, the actual invasion is--a little anti-climatic. Final verdict--it's enjoyable, but Mr. Baum's desire to wind things up and get on with writing other things is very evident throughout. "

    " The puns, oh the puns....this book in the series was SO much better than the last one. This one actually had a plot. And I loved the puns. Who knew a kingdom of utensils could be so hilarious? "

    " This is a great read in between novels. While I was saturated with drama of other books, this was a really nice light read. Whimsical and enchanting, but then what more could you expect from Oz. "

    " I like this one better than the previous few. There are some clever conversations - I particularly like the 'trial' in Utensia. You can tell by the way the author ends this book that he's really trying to get away from Oz! "

    " This book was alright. Some parts go off the deep end with eye-rolling puns. I like a good pun now and then, but give me a break. Some of the peoples the character meet seem to be there just so Baum can puntificate on the myriad of puns available in utensia and bunville. "

    " This was supposed to be the last of the Oz books, and it would have been a very satisfying ending. The fact that it's book 6 of 14 makes me nervous for the rest of the books... "

    " I loved these books when thirteen. Now they don't hold up quite as well, yet Baum is so interesting, and what he was trying to do is so interesting, and above all, the Oz community is so interesting, that I maintain my unstinting loyalty. "
