Emily of OZ is a wonderful story written as a modern adaption of the Wizard of OZ by Frank L. Baum by a 23 year old autistic young man. The story tells of Emily Wilkins, who is swept away from her Kansas home by a tornado to the land of of oz where she meets The Scarecrow, The Tinman and The Cowardly Lion. There she must protect the Sequined Crocs from The Wicked Witch of The West and meet the Wizard so she can find her way back home. The themes and setting are similar but the insight revealed through the mind of this young author is incredible.
