It's flyaway time for the "Wicked Years" series.

"Out of Oz," the fourth and final volume of Gregory Maguire's million-selling take on "The Wizard of Oz," will come out on Nov. 1.

Publisher William Morrow announced Wednesday that "Out of Oz" will feature all sorts of magical mayhem, with the Emerald City plotting an attack on Munchkinland, while the Cowardly Lion runs for his life. Young Dorothy pops in for "something more than a cameo."

Maguire's "Wicked," published in 1995, was adapted into the long-running Broadway musical of the same name. His other books include "Son of a Witch" and "A Lion Among Men."
