Oz blogging: Jack Pumpkinhead in Oz

Whoops! I missed this yesterday, what with missing a lot of things yesterday, but Tor.com went ahead and posted Jack Pumpkinhead of Oz yesterday, to keep all of you from believing that my unbelievable description of the Ozma fail in this book (it's so bad, even the villain is shocked at Ozma's incompetence) wasn't an April Fool's Day joke.

This is one of the two Ruth Plumly Thompson books to deal with disability issues. Although I have some severe problems with some of Thompson's racist views that popped up in The Royal Book of Oz and will be popping up later, I have to give her due credit here for being considerably better on disability issues.
