Milo is a boy who doesn’t know what to do with himself – not just sometimes but always. After all, almost everything is a waste of time . . . until the day a tollbooth appears in his bedroom and he deposits a coin inside.
Beyond the toll and beyond Expectations, Milo will discover the unlikeliest of worlds, one without Rhyme or Reason but full of adventure.
Featuring Norton Juster’s whimsical wit and Jules Feiffer’s iconic illustrations, The Phantom Tollbooth is ultimately a story of imagination sure to capture yours.

‘Think Alice in Wonderland for the modern age. Brilliant’. The Guardian
‘The most unpredictable, the most stimulating children’s book I have read for a very long time. Words, numbers, clichés, proverbs are taken literally, imaginatively or punningly in an enthralling and very funny dazzle of mental fireworks.’ The Sunday Times
‘An altogether remarkable book, one that should delight any bright child, and that will be no burden for a parent to read aloud. Related with unflagging wit and a marvellous sense of the fun to be had with words, this book will be enjoyed by children for years to come.’ Spectator
