"The Patchwork Girl of Oz" by L. Frank Baum is a novel published in 1913. When a magical accident turns Ojo's uncle to stone, the young boy must embark on a quest to gather five rare ingredients for a counterspell. Joined by Scraps—a wild, poetry-spouting patchwork girl brought to life—a vain glass cat, and a peculiar Woozy, Ojo journeys through Oz's enchanted lands. But gathering the ingredients proves challenging when some actions violate Ozma's laws, forcing Ojo to choose between saving his uncle and obeying the rules.
