Read ***Wicked* by Gregory Maguire** and then come discuss it with us at the Des Plaines Public Library.

Years before Dorothy and her dog crash-land, another little girl makes her presence known in Oz. This girl, Elphaba, is born with emerald=green skin--no easy burden in a land as mean and poor as Oz, where superstition and magic are not strong enough to explain or overcome the natural disasters of flood and famine. Still, Elphaba is smart, and by the time she enters Shiz University, she becomes a member of a charmed circle of Oz's most promising young citizens. But Elphaba's Oz is no utopia.

Copies of these books are available at the Readers Services desk on the 3rd floor of the library. Registration required. The book club will meet in the Forum on the fourth floor of the Des Plaines Public Library @ 7:30pm on November 12th.

Please call (847) 376.2840 or email [readersservicesdesk@dppl.org](http://readersservicesdesk@dppl.org/) if you have any questions.
