Sinossi

In "The Emerald City of Oz," L. Frank Baum continues the enchanting saga of Dorothy and her adventures in the magical land of Oz. The narrative blends whimsical storytelling with vibrant illustrations, featuring new characters and familiar faces as Dorothy embarks on a quest to protect Oz from sinister forces. Baum'Äôs signature style combines light-hearted humor with deeper themes of friendship, loyalty, and courage, situating the novel within the rich tradition of American fantasy literature while expanding the mythos of Oz into a complex and vivid world brimming with imagination. Baum, a pioneering author in children's literature, drew inspiration from his own experiences and the socio-cultural landscape of early 20th-century America. His vision of Oz reflects his progressive ideals, particularly regarding equality and justice, which resonate throughout the tale. Baum's background in theater and storytelling contributed significantly to his unique narrative techniques and elaborate world-building, making "The Emerald City of Oz" a vital part of a broader literary journey. This captivating installment in the Oz series is not just a mere continuation; it invites readers of all ages to explore themes of resilience and community. Fans of fantasy and young readers alike will find Baum's imagination compelling, making this book an essential addition to the literary canon of both childhood literature and American fantasy.

    Rymer Strauss and his dad were looking for kids's books that teach about business, but they couldn’t find any. There were surprised when they couldn’t find books that teach kids what it’s like to be an entrepreneur. The truth is, there just aren’t many books that teach young people how to start their own business or how to think about money.So Rymer decided to write one, and that’s where “The Big Money Squeeze” started. He believes other kids deserve to learn how to take charge of achieving their own goals and to be inspired to start businesses. He doesn’t think you have to be in college or even high school to learn how to manage money. Kids in elementary school can start thinking about these things too.Rymer is a go-getter in real life. After successfully building nearly every Lego set ever created, he recently took on the task of building the Death Star. Amazingly, it is still in one piece despite his little sister, his brothers, and all his friends who like to play with it!
