I'm assuming it is less than 19 pages from the second excerpt you provided, but was wondering how detailed it might be. Taking into consideration that it is a children's book, I know not to expect anything sexually graphic, but there may still be some good process moments. B-)

That's the end of the chapter. The next chapter picks up with Dorothy talking to Old Magda briefly before crawling through the tunnels. The giant moles bury her alive, but in the next chapter the Wizard comes across her elbow protruding through the earth.

In other words, there is no process. Just a couple of mentions of her thinking she might be growing, and then she's a giant, albeit one buried underground.

Everything ends up big in the book. Toto is twice his size, big-ass moles are the main problem, and even Bellina the chicken is bigger. And that part where Dorothy is telling Aunt Em and Uncle Henry that she's in charge? Dorothy might be 100', but her uncle and aunt are themselves about 20' tall. Again, no process on any of this.
