This ebook may not meet accessibility standards and may not be fully compatible with assistive technologies.
Welcome to the tiny kingdom of the Ozure Isles, a magical place hidden on five islands in the sparkling Lake Orizon, surrounded by towering mountains in a remote part of Munchkin Land. Life here used to be peaceful and fun until the evil witch Mombi decided to cause trouble.
Mombi kidnapped Queen Orin and left a fire-breathing lake monster named Quiberon in Lake Orizon to trap the islanders. Even after Mombi was defeated, Quiberon stayed behind, making life scary for everyone.
Things get even worse when Quiberon demands the Ozurites bring him a mortal girl to keep him company. The only mortal girls in all of Oz are Dorothy, Betsy, and Tiny Trot, who live in the Emerald City. Now, two brave Ozurites spring into action to save the day!
Prince Philador, the heroic prince of the Ozure Isles, escapes to find help from the Good Witch of the North, Tattypoo. Meanwhile, the sneaky soothsayer Akbad steals a pair of magic wings and flies to the Emerald City. He kidnaps Trot, along with the Scarecrow and a funny animated statue named Benny.
On his journey, Prince Philador teams up with some extraordinary friends: High Boy, a giant horse with legs that can stretch super long, Herby the Medicine Man, an old-timey doctor with a medicine chest inside his chest, and Jo King, a hilarious monarch. Together, they face wild adventures, explore strange places like Cave City, and meet quirky creatures like the Roundabouties and Shutterfaces.
In the end, the wizard transforms Quiberon into a giant bronze and silver statue, and it turns out that Tattypoo is actually the missing Queen Orin! She's reunited with her family and kingdom. Trot is named a princess of the Ozure Isles and can visit their Sapphire City anytime she likes. And Jo King is made ruler of the entire Gillikin Country of Oz by decree of Ozma.
