The Patchwork Girl of Oz
The Patchwork Girl of Oz
Free DownloadHere, the Patchwork Girl is brought to life by Dr. Pipt's magic Powder of Life. From that moment on the action never slows down in this exciting book. It tells of Ojo's quest for the strange ingredients necessary to brew a magic liquid that will release his Unk Nunkie from a spell--the spell cast by the Liquid of Petrefaction, which has turned him into a margle statue.
