* NoAntagonist: Aside from a few minor obstacles such as the chiss and Mr. Yoop the giant, there's no true antagonist. Even Dr. Pipt, arguably the cause of the conflict in the story, isn't anywhere near outright villainous. Most fans agree that Baum pulled off the plot well regardless, making the story much more interesting than the similarly villain-less (and often criticized as a bit boring) ''Literature/TheRoadToOz''.

''The Patchwork Girl of Oz'' is the seventh book in Creator/LFrankBaum's Oz book series, which he returned to after a three year break due to his bankruptcy. It was published on 1 July 1913. Baum dedicated the book to Sumner Hamilton Britton, the young son of his publisher Sumner Charles Britton.
The hero of the tale is a Munchkin boy named "Ojo the Unlucky" who lives with his Unc Nunkie in a remote part of the Munchkin Country. They have noting to eat but bread, and there are only two loaves growing on their bread tree. They visit their only neighbors, Dr. Pipt and his wife Margolotte. There, they learn of the doctor's magic. Margolotte has used the Powder of Life (as seen in [[Literature/TheMarvelousLandOfOz the second Oz book]]) to animate a glass cat named Bungle, and she plans to use the Powder to provide herself a servant. She makes a dummy out of a crazy quilt, and selects doses of "Obedience," "Amiability," and "Truth" from her jars of "Brain Furniture." Ojo surreptitiously supplements the brain mixture with doses of all the other available possibilities: "Cleverness," "Poesy," "Self-Reliance," etc. When the Patchwork Girl is animated with the Powder of Life, she is more of everything than anybody expected.
Unc Nunkie and Margolotte are accidentally dosed with the Liquid of Petrifaction and are paralyzed into marble statues. Ojo, the zany Patchwork Girl, and the Glass Cat set out to gather the five exotic ingredients needed for the antidote. They set off across the Land of Oz for a series of adventures.
