The two main characters meet at Shiz, a school where both hope to take up sorcery. Glinda is madly popular and Elphaba is, well, green. By a misunderstanding, they wind up roommates and, after an initial period of mutual loathing, begin to learn something about each other.

Eventually, their choices and convictions take them on widely different paths. "Wicked [5th Anniversary Edition]" has a list price of $24.99 For more information visit barnesandnoble.com.
