Baum, L. Frank

A Kansas girl named Dorothy is swept away by a tornado to the fantastical land of Oz, where she and three new friends must find a wizard to grant their wishes, including Dorothy's wish to go home.

When a nasty neighbor tries to have her dog put to sleep, Dorothy takes her dog, Toto, and starts to run away. A tornado appears and carries her to the magical land of Oz. Wishing to return home, she begins to travel to the city of Oz where a great wizard lives. On her way she meets a Scarecrow who needs a brain, a Tin Man who wants a heart, and a Cowardly Lion who desperately needs courage. They all hope the all-mighty Wizard of Oz will help them, but they have to get to the Emerald City before the Wicked Witch of the West catches up with them.

After a cyclone transports her to the land of Oz, Dorothy must seek out the great wizard in order to return to Kansas.
