   Summary

   Eight months after returning to Kansas, Dorothy Gale has learned not to talk about Oz. Not if she wants people to look at her normally. Not if she wants Auntie Em to stop worrying. But when the silver shoes return and carry her back across the rainbow, Dorothy discovers the country she left behind is dying. Her friends are scattered. Wheelers hunt the roads at night. And somewhere in the dark, something has gone terribly wrong. Dorothy thought getting home would be the end of the story. She was wrong.
