Synopsis
SON OF A WITCH is the long-awaited sequel to WICKED, the bestseller that inspired a hit Broadway musical. It continues the previous work's homage to L. Frank Baum's Oz books and its cynical commentary on the dirty underside of fantasy novels. Elphaba Thropp, the green-skinned Wicked Witch of the West, has died, leaving behind the foundling boy Liir, who believes that he may actually be her illegitimate son. Alone and rootless, he resolves to search for his childhood friend (and possible half-sister) Nor, who was taken away by the Wizard's army several years ago.

Ten years after WICKED...fans will once again be clicking their heels with wonderment." (starred review)
