Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz by L. Frank Baum

Book 4. The decay begins to seriously set in.

As in, it is perhaps indicative that this happens when Dorothy falls into the ground from an earthquake opened crack


Dorothy sighed and commenced to breathe easier. She began to realize that death was not in store for her, after all, but that she had merely started upon another adventure, which promised to be just as queer and unusual as were those she had before encountered.


Along with a boy, a cat, a horse, and a buggy. The people who live there accuse them of being responsible for the fall of stones that came with them. Shortly thereafter the Wizard appears, his balloon having fallen in, and he proves they arrived among vegetable people.

And then they try to escape underground, going from kingdom to kingdom. Finally Ozma rescues them by a deus ex machina. Some incidents in Oz are less interesting.
