‘Dorothy Must Die’ Will Change How You Feel About Oz — Get A Sneak Peek Now<\/h1>\n

Read three chapters of the upcoming YA book now.<\/h2>\n

Was the Wicked Witch of the West really that bad, or did she just get a bad rap? Was Dorothy really just a sweet-faced girl from Kansas, or a ruthless dictator? YA author Danielle Paige tackles those questions and more in her upcoming novel, “Dorothy Must Die,” a Oz revival story that makes “Return To Oz” look like a Disney-fied dream.<\/p>\n

MTV News is exclusively premiering chapters four through six of the novel today. You can check out chapters one to three on\u00a0Epic Reads<\/i><\/a>, and the next couple excerpts later this week on\u00a0Just Jared Jr<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0Hypable<\/i>.<\/p>\n

“Dorothy Must Die” \u2014 which comes just in time for the 75th anniversary of L. Frank Baum’s “The Wizard of Oz” \u2014 tells the tale of trailer park resident Amy Gumm, who gets swept away from her dreary life during, you guessed it, a tornado.<\/p>\n

Landing in the familiar \u2014 albeit fictional \u2014 land of Oz, Gumm is surprised to find that it’s not all gumdrops and friendly (and cowardly) lions. Dorothy, along with Glinda, has grown mad with power, and it’s up to Gumm, and The Revolutionary Order of the Wicked, to bring Oz back to its former glory. Oh, yeah, and to off the pig-tailed one once and for all.<\/p>\n

“Dorothy Must Die” will hit shelves on April 1 \u2014 and the CW soon enough \u2014 but you can check out a good chunk below right now-abouts. Read up!<\/p>\n
