The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster - review

The Phantom Tollbooth is a great book that I could happily read all over again! It starts with a boy called Milo that is bored stiff about everything in life, but one day an exciting package arrives at his door step containing a life-sized toy car and an also life-sized tollbooth. Milo, having nothing better to do gets in the toy car and drives up to the empty tollbooth. After that moment disaster strikes as he travels into a mysterious world.

This book really takes things literally and the author is brilliant at playing with words. If you like a funny book filled with hilarious travels through strange towns to meet weird creatures then read this wonderful book.
