Summary: Food for thought
Review: Milo, a young, bored boy goes home one day to find a small tollbooth. in his little electric car, he drives to Lands Beyond, where he learns many lessons. It is a moral story, and explores many things as places on a map, possible to visit. And in this incredable world, Milo becomes interested. Not only is the story good, so is the writing, which is also inventive.

Summary: The Phantom Tollbooth
Review: I read The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster when I was in sixth grade. It's about a young boy who gets a tollbooth for a present and travels into a mysterious world with senseless acts that have no meaning and things that we would never do. In this world, they have major problems because the two princesses,(Rhyme and Reason) aren't there. The king argues and argues and ARGUES with other people and has conflicts so often because they are not there. It's just a total mess, so he sends Milo and his friends out to find the two. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good laugh. It's just a one of a kind book with wacky characters and it's funny. It has the wierdest characters I've ever imagined. It has a bee who spells every important word people say, a living clock who doesn't really do anything, demons who disguise themselves as normal people and tell other people to do really wierd things that have no point. There is also a humbug who can get very annoying and won't stop arguing, and a sound doctor who collects sounds and sells them. Basically the book has a whole lot of just all out wierd characters. The only problem with the book is that it had such a predictable ending. I knew the ending after the first 100 pages. I still thought it was a very good book and would recommend it to almost anybody. Join the search!

Review: Do you think everything is a waste of time? Milo, a 8 year old boy in the book The Phantom Tollbooth does. Strangely a tollbooth appears in his room, and he decides to go through it because he has nothing better to do. Then we travel with Milo through Dictionapolis, where everything is letters and numbers. Through Milo's mistakes and achievements the readers see Milo learn and like the learning expirence. Overall, the book teaches us to try new things, even if you do think it is a waste of time.

Summary: Among the best children's books ever written
Review: I remember this book with great fondness from my childhood. Even now, I periodically reread it because it is such a wonderful book. Part of its attraction lies in its wonderful play with language, where phrases we take for granted in everyday conversation (such as jumping to conclusions) become literal. And as in many good books, part of the attraction is watching a character you care about figure out how to extricate himself from the predicaments in which he finds himself. The characters he encounters are fascinating ranging from the wise, to the crusty and even ridiculous. I can't recommend this book too highly. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have!

Summary: My entire class thought it was great
Review: My 5th grade class read this and every one of them loved it. It has suspenceful parts and funny parts. We also got the movie and saw it because we liked it so much. This book is funny and sad. The boy Milo is much like a boy today. He is very funny in the way he acts. I personally liked Tock because he is very happy and is very correct. He is very time loving. I would not recemmend the movie because it left some parts out, canged it and fliped things around. The book is much better some of the words are very funny and eating your words sounds like fun. Overall I gave this book 5 stars because of its happy endings, funny parts and weird words.
