The Phantom Tollbooth

The Phantom Tollbooth
by Norton Juster

Travel with Milo, a boy who thinks seeking knowledge is a waste of time. The discovery of the Phantom Tollbooth leads him on an adventure to The Lands Beyond where he meets the Lethargarians, the Whether Man, and the Count of Connotation. At the end of his journey, Milo realizes that there “are worlds to imagine and someday make real,” and that even in his room, “everything looks new and worth trying.”
