The Phantom Tollbooth

For Milo, life is nothing but boredom—until a mysterious tollbooth appears in his room. With nothing better to do, he drives through it and discovers a world full of surprises.

On the other side, Milo visits the Island of Conclusions (you reach it by jumping), learns about time from a loyal ticking watchdog named Tock, and sets off on a daring quest to rescue Rhyme and Reason.

Along the way, Milo makes a startling discovery: life is anything but dull. In fact, it’s more thrilling and extraordinary than he ever imagined! Enriched by Jules Feiffer’s delightful illustrations, Norton Juster’s beloved fantasy brims with wit, wisdom, and wordplay.
