There is much more to explore in the universe created by L. Frank Baum -- so many regions to visit, so many fascinating characters to meet, so much history to learn, so many stories to tell. Yes, a universe. With his books, L. Frank Baum laid down the foundation for a universe....

The Ultimate Oz Universe introduces readers to a version of this amazing fantasy realm they have never seen before. Encounter a universe that is deeper, richer, and more exciting than they ever imagined -- through modern takes on the classic tales that reintroduce legacy characters like Dorothy, Toto, the Tin Woodman, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion -- and introduce a host of new characters who will quickly become favorites, like Jack Pumpkinhead, Princess Ozma, Glinda the Good, Sawhorse, Hungry Tiger, and most prominently, Tip.

In this first volume, we follow Tip on his transformative journey as he finds his true self over the course of his wild adventure through the Land of Oz. As Tip liberates himself from servitude, discovers the magic he holds within, and begins to unravel the mystery of his birth, he soon finds both his true identity and his true destiny.
