Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire

Elphaba is no stranger to standing out. When you are born with green skin, it marks you as an outcast, especially in a world as broken, poor, and cruel as Oz. When she enrolls in Shiz University in the heart of Oz, Elphaba finds herself quickly thrust into upper class circles where her brains, strong will, and special abilities are highly admired. The more time she spends in Oz, the more she sees how dangerous it is for someone like her. The Wizard has secret police everywhere, forcing Animals to live in exile. Elphaba’s choice to protect those facing the Wizard’s wrath brands her as a witch and forever changes her life in Oz.
