This 35th anniversary edition of Juster\'s ingenious fantasy introduces young readers to Milo, a bored ten-year-old who comes home to find a large toy Tollbooth sitting in his room.
In fact, it\'s exciting beyond his wildest dreams.
Life is far from dull.
Somewhere along the way, Milo realizes something astonishing.
Milo visits the Island of Conclusions (you get there by jumping), learns about time from a ticking watchdog named Tock, and even embarks on a quest to rescue Rhyme and Reason.
But on the other side, things seem different.
When a Tollbooth mysteriously appears in his room, he drives through only because he\'s got nothing better to do.
For Milo, everything\'s a bore.
Enriched by Jules Feiffer\'s splendid illustrations, the wit, wisdom, and wordplay of Norton Juster\'s offbeat fantasy are as beguiling as ever.
And teach us some wisdom, too. it will continue to charm and delight for a very long time yet. . .
With almost 4 million copies sold over 50 years after its original publication, generations of readers have now journeyed with Milo to the Lands Beyond in this beloved classic that Philip Pullman says comes up bright and new every time I read it .
