The Phantom Tollbooth
This renowned story, first published more than fifty years ago, is hailed as "a classic...humorous, full of heart and true originality" (The New Yorker). It introduces readers to Milo and his adventures in the Lands Beyond. Everything is a bore for Milo. He drives through a tollbooth that arises magically in his room since he has nothing else to do. On the other hand, things appear to be different. Milo travels to the Island of Conclusions (which you reach by jumping), learns about time from a ticking watchdog named Tock, and even sets out on a journey to save Rhyme and Reason! Milo comes to a startling realization sometime along the route. Life is far from monotonous. In fact, it's more fascinating than he could have imagined.
