tori is a The Wizard of Oz Historian and collector on TikTok as @theozvlog. So, needless to say, she has some thoughts on the upcoming release evil, A film based on the popular Broadway musical. In a recent video, she shared one of these, which is relevant to parents of young readers.

I shouldn’t have read it. So horny. …How many parents would buy…their little Arianna Grande kids to be fascinated by this This book, trying to get them to read more…I don’t know…”
Tori jumped in with a smile. “I have to weigh in here because you and I had the exact same experience reading this book when I was 11: it shouldn’t be done. But here’s an example of seeing Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West I walked across the street from Barnes & Noble to my mom and said, ‘Oh my God, Mom, look, this is a book about the Wicked Witch of the West! This is a new book! i am a ounce Collector: I must have it! She said, “Bet, kid!” Because she never said no to a book, “Here you go!” Then I read the book, and I asked my mother a lot of questions.

“Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West Gregory Maguire’s work is a life-changing, incredible novel that I highly recommend you read when your children grow up.

She herself pointed out that if her youngest daughter wanted to study evil She might say “yes” and then answer the questions that come up.
“Just like my mother did for me,” she said. “She didn’t take the book away from me. She just answered my question politely and said, ‘I should probably read it before buying it for you.’ “I believe it’s the parents’ choice.
So, if you didn’t know, now you do: please proceed with caution when it comes to evil. But I also urge you to think back to the books you read too soon (*raises hand* Visit the Vampire 12 o’clock here! ) and think back to the impact this decision had on you when you finally weighed it.
