“Paige has spirited readers back to The Wizard of Oz. It’s a classic made more sinister.” — ALA Booklist“Dorothy Must Die is kind of the ultimate in girl-powered literature. You’ve got empowered heroines, sure, but Paige also conjures a formidable villainess in Dorothy and some manipulative lady revolutionaries. Here, women and girls are allowed to be anything. This really is a woman’s world.” — Nerdist.com“Dorothy Must Die is kind of the ultimate in girl-powered literature. You’ve got empowered heroines, sure, but Paige also conjures a formidable villainess in Dorothy and some manipulative lady revolutionaries. Here, women and girls are allowed to be anything. This is a step beyond the one woman up front: Katniss flanked by her boyfriends and a bunch of men who want to take her down. This really is a woman’s world.” — Nerdist.com“Debut author Paige doesn’t hold back in this fast-paced action novel. Give this cinematic upper-YA novel to fans of A. G. Howard’s Splintered, Frank Beddor’s Looking Glass Wars, and TV shows such as Once Upon a Time and Grimm.” — School Library Journal“Debut novelist Danielle Paige fantastically flips the fantasy script on the wonderful land of Oz. Paige doesn’t reinvent the wheel but instead takes a world that most of pop culture has been raised on and builds from it her own modern mythology. Gone are the days of rainbows, Lollipop Guilds and pretty much anything to sing about in a major key. For those willing to go on a quest with a heroine more attuned to our times than the Dust Bowl era, there’s no place like it.” — USA Today“Gone are the days of rainbows, Lollipop Guilds and pretty much anything to sing about in a major key. For those willing to go on a quest with a heroine more attuned to our times than the Dust Bowl era, there’s no place like it.” — USA Today“Paige’s world building is intriguing and effectively augments the original world created by L. Frank Baum.” — ALA Booklist“Paige delivers a solid, intense, and strange narrative that draws deeply on its source material.” — Publishers Weekly“Amy’s dry wit and snarky narration makes a nice counterbalance to the darker events, and she’s believably complex. This strikes a similar tone to Marisa Meyer’s Cinder series, with its blend of fantasy, humor, and horror, and it will likely inspire fans of that series to make their way to the Emerald City.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books“[Dorothy Must Die] strikes a similar tone to Marisa Meyer’s Cinder series, with its blend of fantasy, humor, and horror, and it will likely inspire fans of that series to make their way to the Emerald City.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books“Readers of Baum’s books will take special delight in seeing new twists on the old characters, and they will greet the surprise climactic turnabout with the smugness of insiders.” — Kirkus Reviews“For anyone who likes a good story turned on its head, Dorothy Must Die is a must-read.” — Huffington Post“The Wizard of Oz as you’ve never seen it.” — Teen Vogue
