Hit the Bricks: Recent Episodes
PJ Scott-Blankenship
100 years after L. Frank Baum's saga that began with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the Gale Family Farm sits abandoned in what's left of the great Kansas prairies. After her parents' messy divorce, Jessi Hugson and her mother move to Dorothy's old neighborhood for a new beginning. Things were already off to a shaky start, but when Jessi and her cousin Wallace find a jewel-studded bracelet in Dorothy's front yard...things get twisted. Twister'd, even.
Jessi wakes to discover that she's been replaced. Meanwhile, in the Oz of the past, Glinda's final battle with her sisters changes Oz's future.
