Somewhere over the rainbow, all spell is about to break loose...
Dorthea of Emerald is so over being a princess. Sure, the Glenda Original ball gowns and Hans Christian Louboutin heels are amazing perks, but not if it means being forced to marry the not-so-charming prince Kato. Dorthea has her own ideas about "happily ever after" and she's willing to take matters into her own hands.
But when wishing on a (cursed) star turns her kingdom upside-down and lands her parents in a place called "Kansas," Dorthea's got one shot to undo the chaos. Now, it's up to her, with pixed off Prince Kato in tow, to find the Wizard of Oz and undo the curse…before it releases the wickedest witch of all and spells The End for the world of Story.
Spelled is a wildly funny, subversive twist on classic fantasy, where the heroine doesn't wait for rescue—she delivers the punchlines.

What reviewers said
"A cute adventure with romance set in a world full of fairy-tale mash-ups. Readers will love Dorthea’s evolution from spoiled princess to strong, confident heroine… For Oz fans, this work is a great clean-read alternative to Danielle Paige’s Dorothy Must Die."
"Spelled is full of clever plays on words and fun reinterpretations of the original classic. While the story is light and comedic, Schow manages to weave a deeper plot and satisfying character growth into the pages. Spelled is ideal for readers who are looking for something light and entertaining. Fans of The Wizard of Oz will appreciate Schow’s attention to detail in bringing characters and places they already know to new life with a clever twist."
"There are, overall, two words to describe "Spelled": Clev. Er.
With a starting point of a basic princess story, Schow moves with lightning speed through just about every fairytale and fantasy story you can remember, taking her main character on an original adventure with an Oz flair and a flirt with classic Grimm...Not too hard and not too soft, this book is just right for 12- to 17-year-old readers, but be sure to borrow it back for yourself. Fee, fi, fo, fum, "Spelled" smells like gigantic fun."
