January The Patchwork Girl of Oz

Melissa picked our book for January, The Patchwork Girl of Oz by L. Frank Baum. We will meet on Tuesday January 20, 2026 at 7:30 at Debby’s house.

Here is some information about the book:

Set out on a quest full of magic and mayhem, and meet an unforgettable new heroine who proves that a heart made of fabric can be as true as any other.

When Ojo the Unlucky and his Unc Nunkie visit the crooked magician Dr. Pipt, a terrible accident turns Unc Nunkie and the magician’s wife to stone. The only cure requires ingredients from across Oz—and Ojo must find them. Joined by the irrepressible Patchwork Girl (brought to life by Dr. Pipt’s magic powder), the Glass Cat, and the Woozy, Ojo sets out on a desperate quest. But when he breaks one of Ozma’s laws in his search for a cure, he discovers that even in the magical Land of Oz, doing the wrong thing for the right reason can lead to the most unexpected consequences.

First published in 1913, The Patchwork Girl of Oz is the seventh book in L. Frank Baum’s classic Oz series.
