In Hooked on the Wizard of Oz, award-winning author Shannon Elizabeth Johnson transforms the beloved tale into an inspiring, contemporary journey of imagination and empowerment. When young ventriloquist Ana-Maria Margean and her quick-witted puppet Waldo meet John Assaraf, a modern-day Wizard who reveals how thoughts shape reality, their world opens to extraordinary possibilities. Along the way, a cast of celebrity-inspired characters-from the sharp humor of Boss Eagle channeling Paul Lynde to echoes of Joan Rivers and Tina Turner-bring laughter, heart, and a touch of Hollywood sparkle. Blending fantasy, comedy, and self-discovery, Hooked on the Wizard of Oz celebrates resilience, creativity, and the courage to believe in yourself. Perfect for dreamers of all ages, it's a reminder that the true magic of life begins with how we choose to see the world.
