Reach for this book when your child is navigating the transition from following others to finding their own voice, or if they are beginning to question how much of their identity is defined by appearance versus their inner self. This whimsical sequel follows Tip, a young boy escaping a wicked witch, who joins forces with the Scarecrow and Tin Woodman to reclaim the throne of Oz from an army of rebels. It is a story deeply rooted in the themes of self-discovery, the fluid nature of identity, and the importance of choosing your own family. While the 1904 setting brings some vintage vocabulary and stylized peril, the emotional core remains relevant for modern 8 to 12 year olds. It is an excellent choice for children who feel like outsiders, offering a gentle, metaphorical way to discuss how we grow and change, sometimes in ways we never expected, while remaining true to our hearts.
