Revue de presse :

“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)

“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)

“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)

“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)

“Paige delivers a solid, intense, and strange narrative that draws deeply on its source material.” (Publishers Weekly)

“[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)

“Paige has spirited readers back to The Wizard of Oz. It’s a classic made more sinister.” (ALA Booklist)

“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)

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

Oz has turned into a savage dystopia under Dorothy's rule and now a new girl from Kansas must take her down. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz meets Kill Bill in this edgy, fast-paced, fantasy-adventure.

Amy Gumm has had enough of her trailer park life and she'd do anything to get out of Kansas. And just like that, her tragic life is gone with the wind when she finds herself transported to Oz. Instead of the beautiful, magical land she's come to know in books and movies, she discovers that Dorothy Gale ended up going back to Oz, let her power go to her head, and wreaked havoc on the land. The land where troubles melt like lemon drops is now a place where you re more likely to find an alcoholic, out-of-work Munchkin than a happy little bluebird. And it's all because of that bitch from Kansas.

Amy joins up with the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked-a group of dispossessed witches and warlocks who despise the tyrannical ruler that Dorothy has become. As it turns out, humans in Oz possess magic, and Amy is now the best chance the ROW has of taking Dorothy down. Her mission: get the Scarecrow's brain, the Tin Man s heart, and the Lion's courage. And ultimately, destroy Dorothy.
