I have journeyed back to the land of Oz and was met with utter confusion. Apparently, Baum was ordered to do something from the Army of Children, his words. This time, we were introduced to Bill and Trot because the children demanded it. Apparently, while The Scarecrow of Oz is the ninth book in the “Oz” series, it is also the third and final book in the “Trot & Cap’n Bill” series. The Army demanded to know what would happen if Trot and Bill somehow landed in Oz, and I was apparently supposed to know that another series was in production alongside. What annoyed me the most was that I was already expected to know who they were, but I suppose it wasn’t that hard. It was just another part of Oz with a girl who acts exactly like Dorothy and an elderly man who tries to keep her out of trouble. Unfortunately, it was a story that we heard before, except that the girl’s name was Trot and the man didn’t have a mysterious title. There was a talking animal, so maybe that makes up for the tired old story. Either way, it was a quick read, so it didn’t waste that much of my time, and it was okay. That’s about all I can say. It was okay.
