From the author of the internationally bestselling Wicked comes the enthralling origin story of Elphaba and how she reacted against the wholesome nature of her parents to rise to conquer Oz.
ELPHIE: A WICKED CHILDHOOD is the captivating coming-of-age story of the most iconic witch ever to grace our screens and bookshelves.
Young Elphaba is destined to be a witch, she bears the markings from childhood. But what happened before her powers took hold?

The road ahead is full of lessons and heartbreak, the first bruising attempts at friendship - and tantalising whispers of magic.
It will lead Elphie to the doors of Shiz University, and to the girl who will change her life forever...
