In this breathtaking, fantastically real and utterly captivating book, Maguire populates the world (until then little explored) of Oz with the power of his own imagination.
Years before Dorothy and her dog fall from the sky, another girl makes her mark in Oz. This girl, Elphaba, is born with emerald-green skin — a far from easy burden in a land as harsh and impoverished as Oz, where superstition and magic are not enough to explain or overcome natural disasters, such as floods and famines.
But Elphaba is intelligent and, when she enters Shiz University, she becomes part of an enchanted group of the most promising young people in Oz.
However, Elphaba's Oz is far from a utopia. The Wizard's secret police are everywhere. The Animals — creatures with voice, soul and thought — face the threat of exile. Young, green, indomitable and misunderstood, Elphaba is determined to protect the Animals — even if that means facing the mysterious Wizard, even if she risks her only chance of living a love story. Elphaba will eventually feel gratitude when the world declares her a witch. And she may even rejoice at the arrival of that girl from Kansas…
