Items related to Ophie Out of Oz
At her school in California, fourth-grader Ophie Peeler has it all: starring roles in all the school plays, plenty of attention and, of course, the best best friend a girl could ask for. Like Dorothy, Ophie is on the yellow brick road to a glamorous, adventurefilled life. But all of that changes when Ophie and her family move to Oregon, trading in the California sunshine for a dreary, rain-soaked life. The popular girls at school shun Ophie, Brittany Borg (the class oddball) follows her around, and to top it all off, Ophie outgrows her treasured ruby slippers. Will Ophie find a way to fit in, or has her one chance at happiness just sailed away over the rainbow?

Ophie has lots of experience being the new girl in school as she moves often. But the move from California to Oregon in the middle of fourth grade is almost more than she can manage. Social outcast Brittany Borg latches on to her, making it difficult for Ophie to make her mark in her new community. Ann Marie Lee's performance gives every character a unique voice. Her portrayal of Ophie is exuberant, yet one can hear her yearning to be accepted. Lee also captures the arrogance of the popular girls and excels with the voice of Brittany, who, in spite of her social ineptitude, teaches more about life and friendship than the "cool kids."
