A PARADE BEST KIDS BOOK OF ALL TIME“Comes up bright and new every time I read it . . . it will continue to charm and delight for a very long time yet.” --Phillip Pullman, New York Times bestselling author of His Dark Materials With almost 5 million copies sold in the 60 years since it was published, generations of readers have journeyed with Milo to the Lands Beyond in this beloved classic.Enriched by Jules Feiffer’s splendid illustrations, the wit, wisdom, and wordplay of Norton Juster’s offbeat fantasy are as beguiling as ever. For Milo, everything’s a bore. When a tollbooth mysteriously appears in his room, he drives through only because he’s got nothing better to do. But on the other side, things seem different. 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!

"One of my favorite classic children's books. Everything is a play on words and so cleverly written. It's so good!"

"An absolute childhood favorite. It sparked so many philosophical and psychological thoughts in my young mind (though I didn’t exactly realize it at the time) and inspired endless imagination. Pure magic between the pages. "

"An absolute must read! It is so thrilling and draws you in from the get go! It keeps your mind going and welcomes you into the kingdom of wisdom where you meet King Azaz the king of words, the Mathemagician, the princesses Sweet Rhyme and Pure Reason. A book that awakens your desire for knowledge and tugs at your moral strings."

"For having it in my house as long as I did, I’m surprised I didn’t read it earlier. Either way it was a amazing read. "

"Fun fantasy filled with puns and play-on-words, but I am not a fan of Jules Feiffer's drawing style."
