Plot This story is about a woman named Dora who is going to Ruby city to help OZ be better and greater than before for Professor Marv and when she comes back to Kansas she finds out that they could work together and Dora gets promoted to be the manager of Marvelous Snacks.
Professor Marv gets sent to the hospital and asks Dora to cover for him at OZ. Dora gets off the plane and meets Glenda, they eat lunch and Glenda gives Dora Eve’s laptop. Dora goes to OZ and meets everyone and then she meets Mitchell who she has to work with and he’s terrible. Dora goes to meet Cher, Tim, and Howard and they are wonderful. All four of them are working together on their job.
Dora was forced to work for money after she finished high school. Cher was forced to work during college and she has a lack of education. Dora got promoted and is now the manager. Cher, Tim, and Howard put on a presentation for Dora but mostly Mitchell to show what they have done and accomplished but it didn’t work because Mitchell sent an email to the wizard. The wizard called in for a conference over the phone and Dora told the wizard everything and he said he would call back.
Dora goes home to find that everyone is there to promote her. The professor took Dora when she was looking for a job and offered her one and she took it. When she went to OZ everyone greeted her and she felt like that was home. Dora found out that the wizard was actually professor Marv and he was checking in on her. Professor Marv taught Dora all the techniques and Dora taught Glenda, Cher, Tim, and Howard all the techniques.
Recommendation My dad would love this book because it’s about leadership and he does a lot of leadership in his job.
