(3) 4-6 While mourning the loss of her beloved dog, short-statured Julia Marks gets cast (much to her chagrin) as a Munchkin in a summer production of The Wizard of Oz. The play helps her mature and make new friends, including adult dwarf Olive. Julia's interior monologue--full of insights and frankness--is humorous, refreshing, and appropriately childlike; theater fans should also enjoy this behind-the-scenes look.
