Wicked (Wicked Years, Bk 1)
reviewed on + 15 more book reviews


A new take on an old tale, Wicked gives a detailed account of the life of a little green-skinned girl named Elphaba who would grow up to be the infamous arch-nemisis of Dorothy Gale. She's not "Wicked," just misunderstood! It is an interesting story, woven around an essay on the nature of evil. Young/Sensitve readers beware - I was surprised by some laguage and racy themes.
