The Phantom Tollbooth

Milo, the boy “who didn’t know what to do with himself,” finds himself on an eventful and dangerous quest when drives his toy car through a mysterious tollbooth that appears in his bedroom. Milo travels through the Forest of Sight, experiences different Points of View, accidently leaps to the Island of Conclusions, and passes through the Mountains of Ignorance, all to save the Princesses Rhyme and Reason, and bring peace to the realm. Along the way something magical happens to Milo; he discovers the delights of friendship, curiosity and knowledge, and that life — his own life — is filled with endless possibilities.
