Better than the books three to four. Book one was more for nostalgia of my youth since I read it when I was young for a school report and watched the Wizard of Oz films many times. The fifth book was a bit better than the last due to more of a joyous ending. The Oz scene at the end seemed all colourful and happy. Or at least in my head visualizing the whole book, it was colourful, had interactions and a bit more fun. And to see fairies from rainbows as well as that of Santa Claus. Yet, as usual, there feels like something is missing. I know this is a book for the ages of 8 to 10. Yet, there is something missing that I can't put my foot on. It's a little bit lacking in action or something.
