About the book
Hailed as "a classic. . . . humorous, full of warmth and real invention" ( The New Yorker ), this beloved story--first published more than fifty ago--introduces readers to Milo and his adventures in the Lands Beyond.

Milo visits the Island of Conclusions (you get there by jumping), learns about time from a ticking watchdog named Tock, and even embarks on a quest to rescue Rhyme and Reason! Somewhere along the way, Milo realizes something astonishing. Life is far from dull. In fact, it's exciting beyond his wildest dreams. . . . "I read [ The Phantom Tollbooth ] first when I was ten.
