“I never heard of this book before i stumbled upon it in a bookstore. I was intrigued with the synopsis on the cover because it tells of a story about four girls living in the same neighborhood, same street even, Gumm Street (surprise, surprise!) but never quite get along with each other, in fact they hated each other. But because of a pair of ruby red/silver shoes and and a glamorous but mysterious woman (the book refers to her as the storm) named Cha Cha, which threatens to disrupt the otherwise "peaceful" lives of those living in Gumm Street, the four girls decided to embark on an adventure of a lifetime. Along the way, they will meet new foes and allies, discover their strengths and secure the trust and friendship of one another..
The plot of the book is quite connected with the land and the characters of Oz. It's a light read and really aims for a much younger audience. But if you're young at heart i'm sure you'll find this book fascinating and even tugs at your heart at the right places at the right time, enough to bring a lump in your throat. :)
