"Oddrey had always known she wasn't like anyone else," writes the award-winning author and illustrator Dave Whamond in this children's picture book aimed at children four to seven years old. Her father says that she dances to the beat of her own drum. She does unexpected things and thinks for herself.
But it's not easy being an outsider — many times she feels lonely. Still she makes the best of things and is excited to appear in her class production of The Wizard of Oz. When things begin to go wrong during the night of the show, Oddrey uses her intuition and creativity to save the day. As every rebel knows, sometimes it takes peers a long time to respect those they have ridiculed and ostracized.
