Whimsical, wondrous, and bursting with adventure, Jack Pumpkinhead of Oz continues the magical legacy of L. Frank Baum’s timeless land. Written by Ruth Plumly Thompson, this enchanting tale follows Peter, a clever boy from Philadelphia, who finds himself whisked back to Oz by a magical pirate coin. There, he reunites with the lovable Jack Pumpkinhead—a literal pumpkin-headed character whose clumsy charm is matched only by his curious outlook on life.

Together, Peter and Jack embark on a journey across the fantastical lands of Oz, meeting bizarre and hilarious characters like the Iffin, a philosophical beast; Baron Belfaygor, whose beard grows faster than he can manage; and the mysterious Red Jinn. Along the way, they confront eerie smoke creatures, a menacing Christmas tree, two-headed Fraid Cats, and the villainous Baron Mogodore—all leading to a showdown that threatens the peace of the Emerald City.

A delightful blend of clever wordplay, playful danger, and classic Oz magic, Jack Pumpkinhead of Oz is a heartwarming audio adventure for fans of imaginative fantasy—perfect for young listeners and nostalgic grown-ups alike.
