Ivy Elkins- The Wizard of Oz

I initially chose this book because it was the only one i recognized on option a. I like most of us have grown up watching the movie and knew this would be a book about a fantasy world with entertaining characters so i decided it would be entertaining to learn the history and origin of one of Americans favorite stories. I wasn't sure how it related to American history but I've realized it was and still is an important book that has impacted people all over. My overall opinion of the book is that i do prefer the movie but its been very interesting to read the origin of something that has impacted people for over a hundred years. The characters show the qualities they want throughout their journey. I haven't finished it yet but so far I've thoroughly enjoyed it and am very excited to finish it and compare and contrast what ive known and thought about it in the past

Great minds think alike.Because I picked this book because it was what I recognized off the list of books as well. And I have finished reading the book and have found it very entertaining and interesting to really noticed the little messages through out the book. I am glad I chose this book to read and I feel you will be glad you chose it too.
