Summary: An Interesting Oz Story
Comment: This book is interesting and delightful, with the Valley of Romance, the King of Beavers, and our familiar Oz characters.

Two siblings travel through a television set to the world of Ev, and onto Conjo's Isle. To escape, they must get to the Emerald city and past Glinda's barrier of invisibility.

This is interesting and all Oz fans should read it. I love Oz and everyone in it, and if you are new to this world, I hope you will to!

Summary: The best Oz book not by Baum or Thompson
Comment: "Shaggy Man" is one of the best books in the Oz series. As Snow himself hoped to do, he improved greatly on his previous Oz book, the highly enjoyable "The Magical Mimics in Oz." The book is clearly the creation of a true aficionado of L. Frank Baum's writing; like "Magical Mimics" it closely approximates Baum's plotting style, and the style of the prose itself, while close to Baum's, attains its own delightful distinctiveness. One noteworthy feature of this book is the highly dramatic endings to several of the chapters, beginning with the first one; these endings are cliffhangers which compel the reader to continue reading. "Shaggy Man" deserves classic status among the Oz series, and is recommended to Oz fans everywhere. (Note that "Shaggy Man" contains precisely one reference to a character from "Magical Mimics," and none whatsoever to characters or events from any of Thompson's or Neill's books (as is also true of "Magical Mimics"); thus "Shaggy Man" can be read and enjoyed by anyone who has read several of Baum's Oz books.)
