The Phantom Tollbooth is by Norton Juster. Milo is a young boy who is bored with everything. One day a tollbooth is delivered to his room and he embarks on a journey through the Kingdom of Wisdom. The rulers of Dictionoplois (who love letters) and Digitopolis (who love numbers) have banished the Princesses of Rhyme and Reason. It's up to Milo, Tock the Watchdog, and the Humbug to free them. A delightful tale full of fantasy and many pearls of wisdom, if you look for them. A must read fantasy for well-read individuals.
Ratings: 6th grade - 9 out of 10.
