Her insanity just pours out of the pages along with her unnatural lip glossed smile and hypnotic red heels. A completely terrifying, sweet-talking, party-obsessed, mean, creepy monster. Years ago, Dorothy returned to Oz and became obsessed with magic, Dorothy has become a monster. She’s been recruited by the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked with one mission and one mission only: Dorothy must die. Torture, imprisonment and evil punishments are all Amy finds in this new, drained version of the magical land she knew as a child, and she’s a much bigger part of it than she thinks. Tyrannized by a megalomaniacal Dorothy and mined of its magic, it’s a dystopian distortion of the paradise Baum and MGM depicted. Only, it’s not the Oz she’s read about, this Oz has no cheerful munchkins or joyful parades here in Oz Dorothy rules, and Oz has paid a heavy price for it. Then, one day, a tornado hits her trailer park and Amy is swept away to Oz. At school it does not get any better unpopular, lippy and practically hunted by her school’s very own personal demon, the “ever lovely” Madison Pendleton. Dirt-poor “Salvation Amy” Gumm lives in a trailer park, effectively parenting her alcoholic mom (her dad ran off years ago), who seems to care more about her pet rat, Star, than her daughter.
