Praise for the DOROTHY MUST DIE series: “Readers of Baum’s books will take special delight in seeing new twists on the old characters, and they will greet the surprise climactic turnabout with the smugness of insiders.” - Kirkus Reviews
“Dorothy Must Die is kind of the ultimate in girl-powered literature. Here, women and girls are allowed to be anything.” - Nerdist.com
“Gone are the days of rainbows, Lollipop Guilds and pretty much anything to sing about in a major key. For those willing to go on a quest with a heroine more attuned to our times than the Dust Bowl era, there’s no place like it.” - USA Today
“Paige doesn’t hold back in this fast-paced action novel. Give this cinematic upper-YA novel to fans of A. G. Howard’s Splintered, Frank Beddor’s Looking Glass Wars, and TV shows such as Once Upon a Time and Grimm.” - School Library Journal
“Paige delivers a solid, intense, and strange narrative that draws deeply on its source material.” - Publishers Weekly

“Paige is creating a rather brilliantly twisted version of the familiar world of Oz, continuing to turn references from the original works on their heads, subverting any notions of good and evil, and establishing a place of power-hungry players and shifting alliances that will have readers wondering whom they can trust.” - Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
“Paige is creating a rather brilliantly twisted version of the familiar world of Oz.” - Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
