When I was a child and I first saw The Wizard of OZ, I was mesmerized by the technicolor. I never got over my love for a great fantasy film or book. Today's BOOK OF THE DAY, "The Good Witch of the South" by T. C. Bartlett answers my thirst for a book that fills this void. Yes, you can once again get that new excitement of watching The Wizard of Oz by reading Bartlett's book. And, I must confess, the cover is absolutely gorgeous. Take a look. You won't be sorry.

There is a darkness brewing in the west and alarming rumors of dragons and an evil enchantress building an army to overthrow the Great Head of Oz. A demon fairy witch the Land of Oz hasn't seen since Dorothy Gale destroyed the Wicked Witch of the West.
Soon to be sixteen-year-old Samantha Goodwitch, the daughter of Glinda, the Good Witch of the South, knows she is disobeying her mother's wishes when she leaves the castle to search for dragons, but she'd rather have an adventure than follow her mother's command. When one of the Shadow Mountain Cats, Akasha, unexpectedly saves her life, the adventure turns deadly and a friendship grows between them.
But the rumors soon become real, and the freedom that had captured the hearts of the citizens of Oz is quickly unraveling. As the tensions mount and battles begin, Sam and Akasha find others who join them in the last Great War of Oz, to fight against the darkness that is devouring a once peaceful land.
