Danielle Paige writes young adult fantasy that reworks familiar stories through darker alternate worlds, magical conflict and teenage protagonists. Dorothy Must Die begins when Kansas teenager Amy Gumm is swept into Oz and discovers that Dorothy has returned, taken power and transformed the land into a brutal regime. Amy is recruited by the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked and trained to kill the figure she once knew only as a storybook heroine. The series continues through The Wicked Will Rise, Yellow Brick War and The End of Oz, expanding its versions of the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, Glinda and other established characters. Paige has also written Stealing Snow, inspired by The Snow Queen, and co-written The Ravens, about witchcraft within a university sorority. Her books are fast-paced, plot-driven and built around revisionist fairy-tale or fantasy mythology. Dorothy Must Die is the clearest entry for readers interested in fractured classics and dark YA fantasy. Read more Less
