The Phantom Tollbooth Hadleigh Hannah and the joy of readingFor Milo, life is nothing but boredomuntil a mysterious tollbooth appears in his room. With nothing better to do, he drives through it and discovers a world full of surprises. On the other side, Milo visits the Island of Conclusions (you reach it by jumping), learns about time from a loyal ticking watchdog named Tock, and sets off on a daring quest to rescue Rhyme and Reason. Along the way, Milo makes a startling discovery: life is anything but dull.
