Do you ever feel bored? Do you ever sit in your room and wish something would happen to you? So did Milo. Then a large package arrived and the adventure began! It is the tale of a journey between two lands, a land of words and a land of numbers.
The Phantom Tollbooth is one of my favorite books because it is filled with word jokes. For example, there’s the time when the car is not moving and someone says, “Shhh. Don’t talk.” “Why not?” asks Milo. “Because it goes without saying.”
This book is also filled with great characters. There is the boy who comes from a land where you are born in the air and then grown down until your feet touch the ground. There is the guy who says he is either the tallest midget in the world or the smallest giant. There is Tock the watch dog. Also, the Mathemagician. Try it! You won’t be disappointed!
