Bargain (Kindle) The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster and Jules Feiffer, $1.99

ZodWallop · 12-20-2016, 11:31 AM

The Phantom Tollbooth is currently going for $1.99 on Amazon

Description:
With almost 4 million copies sold over 50 years after its original publication, generations of readers have now journeyed with Milo to the Lands Beyond in this beloved classic that Philip Pullman says “comes up bright and new every time I read it . . . it will continue to charm and delight for a very long time yet. And teach us some wisdom, too.” 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!

Make sure you haven't already purchased this previously! I bought a "classic" edition (whatever that means) last year.

I bought the Kindle version in 2012. It is a good book. They made a movie of it back in the 70's. Butch Patrick (Eddie Munster) played Milo.

I don't remember the movie but have reread the book twice since I bought the Kindle version. Takes me back.
