Description

A fresh adventure unfurls in the Emerald City’s far‑flung lands, where a curious talking horse arrives with the power to grant wishes—if anyone can discover the right words. When Dorothy and her companions hear rumors of a kingdom called Skampavia, ruled by a temperamental monarch and his quirky council of “Supervisors,” they set out to see whether the horse’s magic can ease the land’s growing troubles.

Along the way they encounter bustling markets piled high with odd treasures, a mysterious warning that hints at hidden danger, and a cast of new friends eager to help. As the travelers navigate strange customs and puzzling riddles, the horse’s uncanny ability becomes both a promise and a puzzle, urging them to decide what wishes are truly worth making. The early journey blends humor, wonder, and the classic spirit of Oz, inviting listeners to join the quest and wonder what marvels await just beyond the next hill.
