I've read The Wizard of Oz several times.

It's about a girl named Dorothy who is whisked from her home in a cyclone. Then she landed in Oz. She met a scarecrow, a tin woodman and a lion.

It was really good, but the best part was when Glinda sent Dorothy home. When she was home, her aunt and her uncle were so happy to see her.

The book might be a bit scary for some people.
