| Summary |
"Ozoplaning with the Wizard of Oz" by Ruth Plumly Thompson is a children's fantasy novel written in the late 1930s. The story continues the beloved Oz series originally created by L. Frank Baum, featuring familiar characters such as Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Woodman, and the Wizard himself. This installment introduces a whimsical adventure involving high-flying escapades and inventiveness, particularly centered around the Wizard’s new invention, the Ozoplane. The opening of the tale presents a cozy gathering held by the Wizard of Oz to celebrate Dorothy's return to the Emerald City. As he prepares for the party, Dorothy and her companions reminisce about past adventures, highlighting the strong friendships formed during their travels. The Wizard introduces his latest creation, the Ozoplane, which serves as a vehicle for upcoming exploration. Excitement builds as characters express eagerness for new adventures; however, chaos ensues when one of the planes takes off unexpectedly, setting the stage for a series of misadventures that will unfold throughout the novel. Jellia Jam's character is notably introduced as she assists the Wizard and engages with the others in a lively setting, hinting at her importance in the unfolding narrative.
