Dorothy, the protagonist of ''[[The Wonderful Wizard of Oz]]'', does not appear. Instead, the protagonist is a native of Oz, an orphan boy called Tip who sets out to seek his fortune along with two magically-animated companions, Jack Pumpkinhead and the Saw Horse. He encounters General Jinjur and her all-female Army of Revolt, who plan to take over Oz on the grounds that (what with the Wizard, and various Kings before him) it's about time a woman had a turn; then becomes involved in the search for Princess Ozma, the long-lost daughter of the last King of Oz, who disappeared as an infant shortly after the Wizard arrived in Oz. Tip's search, like Dorothy's, ends with the discovery that what he was looking for was under his nose the whole time, had he only known it. Princess Ozma is acclaimed the ruler of Oz, and goes on to become a major character in the rest of the series.
Parts of this book (and the next, ''[[Ozma of Oz]]'') were incorporated into the film ''[[Return to Oz]]''. It was also adapted as the second story arc in the anime ''[[The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (anime)|The Wonderful Wizard of Oz]]''.
