Wicked (Wicked Years, Bk 1)
reviewed on + 19 more book reviews


Maguire rewrites the story of The Wicked Witch of the West from the Wizard of Oz from the sympathetic perspective of the Witch! The history of the Land of Oz that Maguire creates is magical, as are the twists in perspective he gives this new take on an old story: what's bad becomes good, and vice versa. This book has been turned into a successful broadway musical and Maguire has written several other books along the same lines: "Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister," etc.
