Frank Baum\u2019s novel <em>The Wonderful Wizard of Oz<\/em>, the Emerald City continues to shine brightly in pop culture. Debut novelist Danielle Paige signed a three-book and three-digital novella deal with HarperCollins. The series will start with <em>Dorothy Must Die<\/em>, described as \u201c<em>The Wizard of Oz<\/em> meets <em>Kill Bill<\/em>\u201c, in April 2014. In this re-imagining, a twister rips through Kansas and transports Amy Gumm \u2014 most likely inspired by Judy Garland\u2019s birth name Frances Gumm \u2014 into Oz, which has been transformed under Dorothy\u2019s tyrannical misrule. In a complete twist from the original, Amy must steal the Scarecrow\u2019s brain, remove the Tin Woodman\u2019s heart, and take the Lion\u2019s courage. And ultimately \u2014 destroy Dorothy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrowing up, I read all of L. Frank Baum\u2019s Oz books too many times to count,\u201d said author Danielle Paige in a press release. \u201cGetting to revisit Oz and explore the darkness alongside the Technicolor is a thrill.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>[ <a href=\"http:\/\/shelf-life.ew.com\/2013\/09\/25\/dorothy-must-die-wizard-of-oz\/\" target=\"_blank\">click to read at EW<\/a> ]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>from Entertainment Weekly HarperCollins announces Oz-inspired series &#8216;Dorothy Must Die&#8217; &#8212; EXCLUSIVE By Stephan Lee More than a century after L.
