The Patchwork Girl of Oz (Land of Oz Book #7)
by L. Frank BaumThe Patchwork Girl is one of the most delightful of the stories. The most important new character is Miss Scraps Patches, the patchwork girl herself, who is only a large stuffed doll, but very much alive thanks to the magic Powder of Life, and very brainy, because her stuffing has been well dosed with a part of the contents of all the bottles on the shelf labeled "Brain Furniture" . Then there is the Woozy, a strange little animal "all squares and flat surfaces and edges", who isn't very important except for the three hairs at the end of his tail; his only talent is his fire-flashing eyes. Another unusual creation is Bungle, a glass cat, who is completely transparent and quite conceited because of her pink brains: "You can see 'em work."
