While the long-running Broadway musical and major motion picture take inspiration from this iconic novel, this is Oz as Gregory Maguire wrote it-a fantastical story with dark edges that explores morality and ambition, love and friendship, and discovering one's inner power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElphaba was born with emerald-green skin-no easy burden in a land as mean and poor as Oz, where superstition and magic are not strong enough to explain or overcome the natural disasters of flood and famine. Still, Elphaba is smart, and by the time she enters Shiz University, she becomes a member of a charmed circle of Oz's most promising young citizens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut Elphaba's Oz is no utopia. The Wizard's secret police are everywhere. Animals-those creatures with voices, souls, and minds-are threatened with exile. Young Elphaba, green and wild and misunderstood, is determined to protect the Animals-even if it means combating the mysterious Wizard, even if it means risking her single chance at romance. Ever wiser in guilt and sorrow, she can find herself grateful when the world declares her a witch. And she can even make herself glad for that young girl from Kansas. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGregory Maguire\u003c\/b\u003e is the #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of the Wicked Years, a series that includes \u003ci\u003eWicked\u003c\/i\u003e-the beloved classic that is the basis for the blockbuster Tony Award-winning Broadway musical of the same name and the major motion pictures-\u003ci\u003eSon of a Witch\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Lion Among Men\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eOut of Oz\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eHis series Another Day continues the story of Oz with \u003ci\u003eThe Brides of Maracoor\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e The Oracle of Maracoor\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Witch of Maracoor\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eand his other novels include \u003ci\u003eA Wild Winter Swan\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e Hiddensee\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAfter Alice\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eConfessions of an Ugly Stepsister\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLost\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMirror Mirror\u003c\/i\u003e.
