The Road to Oz is much more character driven than the previous stories. While each book introduces its own cast of characters, and brings back new ones, this story focused a lot more on the characters than it did on the fairy adventure - which was really a just a road trip to get to Ozma's birthday party.

A whole mess of characters are introduced in this book, including the Shaggy Man and his Love Magnet, Button Bright, who, little known fact, is related to Jon Snow...

Including Santa Claus.

That's it. The Santa card has been played.
