The Phantom TollBooth


The Phantom Tollbooth is a 256 paged novel by Norton Juster. Everything is always useless and boring to young Milo. One day, he sees a toy tollbooth. Once he drives past it with his toy car, he ends up in this new world of numbers, sounds, words, and much more! Soon he is told to get past "the demons of ignorance" and return Rhyme and Reason with the help of Tock, a watch dog that ticks and Humbug, a bug in a suit. Will Milo learn the importance of learning along the way?
