Dorothy Takes Oz
Imagine if Dorothy and other characters in The Wizard of Oz could text each other. Dorothy Takes Oz follows them on their classic adventure, with some new twists and turns as they navigate poppies, wicked witches, and other perils. My thanks to L. Frank Baum’s original novel for its wonderful inspiration. Also my thanks to TextingStory and the many creators of animated gifs used in this series.
