The Patchwork Girl of Oz by L Frank Baum

Title: The Patchwork Girl of Oz

Author: L Frank Baum

Pages: 364

Finished: July 29, 2017

First Sentence: "Where's the butter, Unc Nunkie?" asked Ojo.

Summary: Ojo and his Unc Nunkie visit the Crooked Magician just before taking a trip through the rest of Munchkinland when misfortune befalls them. While trying to bring a Patchwork Girl to life with his Powder of Life, the Magician accidentally turns his wife and Unc Nunkie to stone with his Liquid of Petrification. It's up to Ojo, Scraps the Patchwork Girl, and Bungle the Glass Cat to find all the parts to the spell to bring them back to life.

Thoughts: I will freely admit it's getting harder and harder to get through these. I feel like some of the geography was off in this one from previous books, but then continuity is not Baum's strong point. He mentions Dorothy's pink kitten Eureka. Last I remember Eureka was normal cat colored and went back to America with Dorothy because she wasn't very welcome in Oz. And they mentioned the Tin Man being careless with his ax again instead of the ax being enchanted to cut off his appendages as was told in the first book.

Also, this is the first book where I didn't really remember anyone other than the cat who has pink brains. You can see 'em work. :eyeroll:

Read for my Wizard of Oz challenge.
