"The Lost Princess of Oz" by L. Frank Baum is a children's fantasy novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the mysterious disappearance of Princess Ozma, the beloved ruler of Oz, prompting her friends, including Dorothy, Trot, and Betsy, to embark on a quest to find her. As they navigate the whimsical yet perilous world of Oz, they encounter various characters and magical challenges, uncovering secrets along the way. The opening of the book sets the stage for a captivating adventure, commencing with the alarming realization that Princess Ozma has vanished without a trace. Dorothy, who discovers Ozma's absence while tidying her own room, quickly gathers her friends Betsy and Trot to investigate. As they seek clues, they encounter Scraps, the animated Patchwork Girl, who decides to join their quest. Their initial searches lead to the conclusion that not only has Ozma disappeared, but critical magical items in Oz are also missing, heightening the sense of urgency and mystery surrounding the princess's fate. The intrigue of the story is built upon the friendships and teamwork among the girls and their friends as they strategize to uncover the truth behind Ozma's disappearance.
