Waiting on Wednesday #44: Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige




Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly feature created by Jill at Breaking the Spine. This is where you showcase an upcoming release you're anxiously awaiting!

This week, I'm waiting on:
Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige.

Expected Publication: April 1, 2014.
by: HarperTeen.

Goodreads Blurb:
I didn't ask for any of this. I didn't ask to be some kind of hero.
But when your whole life gets swept up by a tornado—taking you with it—you have no choice but to go along, you know?

Sure, I've read the books. I've seen the movies. I know the song about the rainbow and the happy little blue birds. But I never expected Oz to look like this. To be a place where Good Witches can't be trusted, Wicked Witches may just be the good guys, and winged monkeys can be executed for acts of rebellion. There's still the yellow brick road, though—but even that's crumbling.

What happened?
Dorothy. They say she found a way to come back to Oz. They say she seized power and the power went to her head. And now no one is safe.

My name is Amy Gumm—and I'm the other girl from Kansas.
I've been recruited by the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked.
I've been trained to fight.
And I have a mission:
Remove the Tin Woodman's heart.
Steal the Scarecrow's brain.
Take the Lion's courage.
Then and only then—Dorothy must die!


Why I'm excited:
UM. Does this not sounds amazing!? I'm so curious to see the tables turned on the characters we know and love from The Wizard of Oz! I feel like this one is going to be too cool. Dark, but cool.

What are you waiting on this week?

Make sure you head over to The White Unicorn today for a guest post and giveaway from Chloe Jacobs!
