Handy Mandy in Oz
Ruth Plumly Thompson
Read by Phil Chenevert
On many a day had Handy, the Goat Girl of Mern, pursued her goats up and down the rocky eminences of her native mountain. And never—NEVER—in her fourteen or so years' experience had she been blown up by a mountain spring. But there comes, in every one's experience a day which is unlike every other day, and so it was with the Goat Girl. As she was pursuing What-a-butter, her favorite goat, there was a sudden crash, a whish, and up flew the slab of rock on which she was standing, up and away.
The adventures into which she was carried by this simple though awefull beginning take a whole book to relate. How she met Nox the Royal Ox of Keretaria, how together they went in search of little King Kerry, how at last they rescued him and found themselves feted guests of Ozma of Oz, all these things you must read for yourselves. - Summary by the author and Phil chenevert (4 hr 7 min)

One of my favourite Oz books! Mandy is such a fun, strong, outspoken and charismatic character and her bantering with the Ox throughout the book is great fun. The villain in this story is also more realistic and scary compared to most Oz books, and there are a lot of fun cameos by familiar Oz characters as well. And the wonderful, engaging reading by Phil Chenevert of course raises the book an extra level as well!
Fun story excellent reader
