Hi guys and gals!
Welcome back to another exciting week here at Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers.
For those that are stateside, here's hoping your Mother's Day celebrations/remembrances went off without a hitch. Mine had a small one, but it worked out in the end. Gotta love dear old Mom. ^_^ Anywho, let's crack the lid on this week's bookish fun now, shall we?
Today, we're hosting a stop along the Pump Up Your Book tour starring a Young Adult book that takes us for a new spin on an old tornado. Worried about my choice of words? Oh, you'll understand in a moment...trust me. Ready or not, makes way for Dot Gale and the Empress West...or rather today's title in the book spotlight...
by
Bart Baker
Publisher: CreateSpace
Pages: 254
Genre: Young Adult

With her uncle, the President of the United States, presumed dead and her beloved younger brother, Ozz, missing, Dot Gale is whisked into an odyssey in a different, very strange dimension. With the aid of three friends she makes on this arduous adventure, Scared Crow, Heartless and half man/half beast, Lars, Dot must battle the diabolically deadly Empress West if she is ever to return home with Ozz. Can Dot survive the evil machinations of the Empress and return home to rescue the United States before her wicked Aunt Emily succeeds with her sinister plan to take over the country?

Okay, I don't know about you, but I LOVE the sound of this one! I know there are other Dorothy-esque tales out there that I've yet to sample, but what can I say? Knock offs that aren't exactly knock offs and offer their own spin on the tale of old...are just something that appeal to me.
So, what about you?
What caught your attention about this one?
Will it be on YOUR wish list?
