The Patchwork Girl of Oz Volume 1

Otis Frampton’s graphic-novel adaptation of L. Frank Baum’s classic follows Ojo the Unlucky and the newly animated Patchwork Girl, Scraps, as they travel across the marvelous Land of Oz to gather rare ingredients that will restore Ojo’s Uncle Nunkie and Dr. Pipt’s wife, both accidentally turned to stone. Volume 1 covers the accident itself and the opening half of the quest, introducing readers to whimsical regions, clever wordplay, and a colorful cast including the Glass Cat, the Woozy, and Ozma of Oz. Told in lively panels and buoyed by humor and heart, the story celebrates friendship, problem-solving, and perseverance.
