Chapter 35 Summary

Amy and Ollie’s sister materialize outside and meet up with Ollie. Ollie’s sister asks Amy to cut off her wings so Dorothy can’t control her anymore, and Amy uses her magic knife to slice them away. Ollie asks Amy to come with them, but Amy refuses because she still has a job to do. Ollie gives her a silver needle that will lead her to the Wingless Ones and tells her to “find us when you need us most” (364).

Back in her room, Amy cleans up and burns her dress. She wonders why no one from the witches has contacted her and feels frustrated because she doesn’t know if she’s doing the right things. She speaks to the mirror she arrived through, telling Nox she needs him, but there’s no answer.

Chapter 36 Summary

At breakfast, the Tin Woodman interrogates the maids about the escaped monkey. Amy lies, but it seems like the Tin Woodman sees right through her story. Jellia interrupts because the girls have duties to attend to. Looking right at Amy, the Tin Woodman says that maids are “so good at getting every single detail right” and then leaves (372).
