The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster

4.0

This book is so clever and witty, I found myself reading sections over and over again. It's a little like Wizard of Oz. The main character, a child from our world, goes to another place where things are a bit bizarre and twisted. He meets up with several colorful characters who accompany him on his grand quest to save their world and find the boy's way back home. My favorite part of the book was where Milo, the hero, meets up with a boy who is floating in midair. Turns out, this boy's people grow down instead of up. So, they always know what height they'll end up at. I look forward to reading this to my son one day.
