“An extraordinary amalgam of unique, lavish story-telling, vivid comprehension of Baum’s original genius, and heartfelt homage to the real and genuine Oz.” – John Fricke, Emmy-winner, author, and Oz historian
“The transformational messages embedded in AGES OF OZ mirror the social justice themes that flow through the original Oz books written by L. Frank Baum… young readers receive encouragement to ‘think for yourself’ and through reason and courage, overcome the injustices of the world.” – Sally Roesch Wagner, Executive Director Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation.
Lisa Fiedler
Lisa Fiedler is the author of many novels for children and young adults. She divides her time between Connecticut and the Rhode Island seashore, where she lives happily with her very patient husband, her brilliant and beloved daughter, and their two incredibly spoiled golden retrievers.
Gabriel Gale is a science and history buff and a thrill-seeking adventurer, attributes that serve him well as a royal historian of Oz. He lives in the borough of Brooklyn, New York, where he tries to stay out of trouble—although he claims (like a certain noteworthy ancestor of his) to have been transported to the magical Land of Oz on several occasions. When he isn’t fighting rogue Sorcerers, Wizards, and Witches, Gabe is a writer, an artist, an explorer, and above all, a relentless defender of the Good.
