About this audiobook
Dorothy awakens one morning to discover that Princess Ozma has disappeared, along with several magic items belonging to Glinda and the Wizard. A search party comprising Dorothy, the Wizard, Betsy Bobbin, Trot, and Button-Bright is formed, and the friends set off for the land of the Winkies. But who is behind the mysterious disappearances? The eleventh in the Oz books series, this book has a plot that was inspired by a letter from a young fan.

Reviews for The Lost Princess of Oz
7 ratings6 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5After seeing the classic movie and reading the book, I fell in love with Oz - and little did I know, there was more of it to read about!For anyone who loves Baum's fantastical world, this book is a great continuation.As Dorothy travels with her friends to rescue Princess Ozma, you meet more inhabitants of Oz like Cayke the Cookie Cook, Button-Bright, and Little Pink Bear.A fun addition to the Oz saga!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5There's a very real chance that this is the best book in the entire series: it's adventurous, funny, reflective, strange, and just a tiny bit meta-fictional ahead of its time. If the Oz books had stopped here, it certainly would have been L. Frank Baum's crowning achievement. Regardless, though, it is far and away better than any sequel written by any of his successors, as well as most of his own both before and afterward.If your kid has never read an Oz book, give them this one.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The lost princess, of course is Ozma, and her vanishing sets off an extensive search
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wonderful book I liked the scenes of the Wizard using his magic.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Princess Ozma was the ruler of the Fairyland in the Land of Oz. She was the protector and friend of many. Dorothy and some other close friends of Ozma decided to go on a journey to Munchkin country. She went to ask Ozma about using the Sawhorse and the Red Dragon, when she realized that the princess was missing and no one knew where she was. They searched the whole palace and grounds but no one knew where she was. Dorthy went to the Magic Picture which is one of Ozma greatest treasure and it shows where in the world a person is but it was missing also. They soon found out that other things were missing. Glinda the Sorceress of Oz found that her Book of Records and all her magic instruments were gone. Cayke the Cookie Cook discovered that her diamond studded gold dish pan had been stolen. The Black Bag of Magic tools belonging to the Wizard of Oz was also missing. They got together and set out to find Ozma. They arrived at Ugi's castle where they found out that Ozma had been stolen by Ugie who wants to be the most powerful magician in Oz. I like the book because it is mysterious. I also like the challenges and adventures all the characters went through to find the princess and never gave up.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not one of Baum's better books. This is one of the later ones in the series and he was really losing his touch. Lots of contrivances, lots of easy outs, lots of convenience. The narrator, Tara Strong, is a longtime professional voiceover artist, including having voiced a lot of cartoon characters, and is very good at what she does. I would say, however, that while most of the character voicings she does for this book are exceptional (with the exception of a few of the male voices, such as The Wizard), her line readings of the exposition of the book are a wee bit overly dramatic, or 'over-acted," that it gets a bit ponderous at times. That being said, she didn't have the best of Baum's material to work with.
