Well, in Lost King, returning to the United States made Dorothy quickly age into a young woman. Ozma might be immune to that, though, being a fairy and all.

Lost Kind was only the second post-Baum book I ever read, and it freaked me out. I do *not* want to deal with the idea of Dorothy being thrown into the real world and suddenly being over a hundred years old, so I cheerfully ignore the possibility.

Thank goodness that story wasn't written today, or they might have felt obliged to deal with the problems of sudden puberty, breasts and binding underwear.

I think Thompson purposely had her return to Oz quickly in order to avoid dealing with such things.

On the *other* hand, it would be interesting seeing a girl from the turn of the 20th century dealing with how much things have changed. At that point it was what, 30 years? But seeing her deal with the turn of the 21st century (without the growing, please) might be fascinating. She'd still be Dorothy, after all, and Dorothy knows how to take things as they come.
