Reviews
Grade 3-5–In this reinterpreted, graphic version, the classic plot stays the same. The dialogue is true to the original, and sometimes clashes with the more updated look. Almost everything in the story has been modernized. The Good Witch of the North wears sunglasses. Dorothy wears jeans. The Tin Woodman sports a buzz saw. The Wicked Witch of the West is both humorous and evil. The black-and-white illustrations are action packed, and the characters, with their Bazooka Joe eyes, combine classic comic touches with the popular manga style. Reluctant readers will gravitate toward the cartoon cover. Any library with a graphic-novel collection (or any library about to start one) will want to include this title.–Sadie Mattox, DeKalb County Public Library, Decatur, GA
