{"product_id":"2940149205387","title":"The Patchwork Girl Of Oz","description":"The Patchwork Girl Of Oz\u003cbr\u003eby L. Frank Baum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Patchwork Girl of Oz by L. Frank Baum, is a children's novel, the seventh set in the Land of Oz. Characters include the Woozy, Ojo \"the Unlucky\", Unc Nunkie, Dr. Pipt, Scraps (the patchwork girl), and others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOjo the Unlucky is a Munchkin boy who, devoted to life with his uncle Unc Nunkie in the wilderness but on the verge of starvation, goes to see a neighboring \"magician\" and old friend of Unc’s, Dr. Pipt. While there they see a demonstration of the Pipt-made Powder of Life, which animates any object it touches. Unc Nunkie and Dr. Pipt's wife are also the sufferers of the consequences of another of the Doctor's inventions, the Liquid of Petrifaction, which turns them into solid marble statues.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe remainder of this book is Ojo's quest through Oz to retrieve the five components of an antidote to the Liquid: a six-leaved clover found only in the Emerald City, three hairs from the tip of a Woozy's tail, a gill (a quarter of a pint) of water from a dark well (one that remains untouched by natural light), a drop of oil from a live man's body, and the left wing of a yellow butterfly. With the help of the patchwork girl Scraps, Bungle the Glass Cat (another of Dr. Pipt's creations), the Woozy, Dorothy, the Shaggy Man, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Woodman, Ojo gathers all of these supplies but the left wing — the Tin Woodman will not allow any living thing to be killed, even to save another's life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe party returns to the Emerald City, where the Wizard of Oz (one of the few allowed to lawfully practice magic in Oz) restores Unc Nunkie and Dr. Pipt's wife. The story is also a growth process for Ojo; he learns that luck is not a matter of who you are or what you have, but what you do; he is renamed \"Ojo the Lucky,\" and so he appears in the following Oz books.","brand":"Apps Publisher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47122348966128,"sku":"2940149205387","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149205387_p0.jpg?v=1763713242","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149205387","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
