Description

In this lively Oz adventure, Betsy Bobbin—a bright‑eyed girl from the Emerald City—finds herself paired with the ever‑hungry Tiger, a creature whose appetite is matched only by his good heart. When an urgent invitation arrives from the distant kingdom of Rash, the duo sets off, eager to meet a mysterious new prince and to see what excitement awaits beyond Oz’s familiar borders.

The land of Rash bursts with color and chaos, from the irate Pasha’s disastrous banquet to a court full of eccentric officials and magical curiosities. Along the way, Betsy and the Tiger encounter a clever scribe, a temperamental vizier, and a dazzling scarlet prince, all while a series of puzzling riddles and enchanted spectacles lead them toward a hidden ruby that could change Rash’s fate. The first part of their journey swirls with humor, daring escapes, and the kind of whimsical danger that makes Oz’s stories unforgettable.
