Ages of Oz series.
Illustrated by
Sebastian Giacobino.
Created by Gabriel Gale. As Glinda and her friends continue their quest to defeat the wicked forces oppressing Oz, she discovers her relationship to a powerful sorceress, visits the Sea Fairies and Nomes, and acquires magical tools central to her identity. This darker-edged prequel series (A Fiery Friendship) revels in references to the Oz canon as it builds backstories for Baum's famous characters; occasional black-and-white illustrations are included.

Ages of Oz series.
Illustrated by
Sebastian Giacobino.
Created by Gabriel Gale. When she graduates, young Glinda learns dangerous magical secrets about her mother, the history of Oz, and wicked witch Aphidina. Following a road of red cobblestones, Glinda travels with a growing group of companions to right ancient wrongs and discover her own powers. Fiedler's complicated prequel about this famous land is less charming than Baum's originals; occasional detailed black-and-white illustrations are included.
