This is the original book, by gay author Gregory Maguire, which is the basis for the hit musical Wicked.
Elphaba, the future Wicked Witch of the West, has gotten a bum rap.
When she's born, green-skinned, shark-toothed and afraid of water, her own mother is repulsed and embarrassed. At college, she is rejected by her roommate, Glinda, a silly girl interested only in clothes, money, and popularity. When Elphaba learns that the Wizard of Oz is politically corrupt and causing economic ruin, she decides to stop him and to restore harmony and prosperity to the land.
