Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. A 1913 children's novel, book 7 in the Oz series. A boy searches Oz for ingredients to a magic spell to save his uncle. C+ (Okay). Once again, an Oz book that starts out really promising, with a bad second half. The Patchwork girl is delightful, but doesn't end up having anything to do in the book. And the ending is extremely lazy, with no surprises; Baum might just as well have declared that he was done writing now so go to bed, kids. (May 2023) One of three books the prolific Baum published in 1913. I remember this as one of the best of the Oz books. The Patchwork Girl is a stuffed doll brought to life for the convenience of humans, similar to the Scarecrow. My brother pointed out what a terrible conundrum it is that Ojo the Unlucky must break the most important rule of Oz (do not harm any living creatures) in order to save his uncle's life. no reviews | add a review
