The Wizard of Oz has built two beautiful “Ozoplanes” to explore Oz. But the official launch party goes wrong when the Soldier with the Green Whiskers accidentally launches the Oztober into the cloud country of Stratovania! The ruler, Strut of the Strat, makes Jellia Jamb his “Starina” and then sets off to conquer the fascinating country of Oz! Meanwhile the Wizard, Dorothy, the Cowardly Lion and the Scarecrow pile into the Ozpril and chase after the Oztober, but end up having an adventure of their own… This is the 33rd book in the “Oz” series, following in the official canon after L. Frank Baum’s original 14 books. The phrase “The Wizard of Oz” was included in the title to coincide with the 1939 release of the film The Wizard of Oz. The focus of the story is primarily on characters who appeared in “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz”. (Summary by Beth Thomas)
