A Nightmare in Oz David M Keyes

For the countless years she and her friends have been residents of Oz, Dorothy Gale has never experienced dreams - bad or good. But now, a foreboding menace is stirring in the soil beneath them, and those nightly visions have returned, bringing with them a threat no one is prepared to face. What has inspired this surge of sleepy terrors? How does it know of the painful memories of the past? Now it is up to Dorothy and her friends, Trot and Betsy Bobbin, to unravel the mystery before they are ensnared by its menacing claws.

But the greater reality may lurk beyond, in the knowledge that Oz's great magics are eroding, allowing new threats to make their claim against the once-peaceful kingdom...
