'''Ojo in Oz''' is the twenty-seventh installment in the Literature/LandOfOz series, and the thirteenth book by Ruth Plumly Thompson.

As the story begins, Ojo and Unc Nunkie (who were introduced in ''Literature/ThePatchworkGirlOfOz'' by L. Frank Baum) are living in a green cottage with blue shutters, which abuts the wall of the Emerald City. Their peaceful routine is disrupted when Ojo is kidnapped by gypsies. He is not their only victim: the gypsies also hold a bear named Snufferbux, who they force to dance and perform for them. Soon enough, the gypsies are overcome by a gang of bandits. The bandit chieftain Realbad discovers a parchment in the gypsy leader's vest, which states that anyone who brings Ojo to Moojer Mountain will receive a bounty of 5000 bags of sapphires. Realbad and his thieves take Ojo and Snufferbux back to their secret cave.

Meanwhile, Unc Nunkie seeks out the help of Princess Ozma as soon as he realizes Ojo is missing. The Wizard of Oz prepares to use his magic searchlight to locate Ojo; Ozma sends out a party of potential rescuers that includes Dorothy Gale, the Patchwork Girl, and the Cowardly Lion. The rescue party goes awry, however; the three find their own way to Moojer Mountain, where they are enchanted and turned into clocks by the malevolent magician Mooj, the man who seeks possession of Ojo.

!!Tropes

* RoguishRomani: It is never explained how Gypsies wound up in Oz. Thompson might have replaced them with any fantasy race to avoid racism. The fact that [[spoiler: Ozma sends them back to Europe at the end of the book, in ''1933'', is rather tragic considering what was to happen there within the decade.]]
* WackyWaysideTribe: A must in most Oz stories, especially those by Thompson. This story includes the Dicks of Dicksyland.
