The Phantom Tollbooth

Milo is convinced there's nothing interesting to do - until a mysterious tollbooth suddenly appears in his room. With nothing better planned, he drives through and discovers a wonderfully strange world where he visits the Island of Conclusions (by jumping, of course), meets a ticking watchdog named Tock, and sets off on a quest to rescue Rhyme and Reason.

Along the way, Milo makes a surprising discovery: life isn't boring at all. In fact, it can be more exciting than he ever imagined.
