The Phantom Tollbooth Book!

This book is about a boy named Milo. He was a very lethargic boy, he went home and saw a Tollbooth. He then went to the tollboth and wen to Lands beyond. In this adventure it shows how Milo changed and stay the same.He is trying to make two kings and they are brothers to be brothers again because one says that words are more important than numbers and the other says that numbers are more important than words.He had assistance from a dog named tock and a bug named Humbug. They went to the castle in the air to save Rhyme and Reason . When they came back they got congratulated by both kings and the two kings became brothers again. they made a new holiday because of it. Milo didn't want to go home, but did.
"The Magical Tollbooth" is what I call it!
The Phantom Tollbooth was a very magical book, many magical things happened in this book that might not happen in an ordinary magic book! Who has ever heard of the "Word Market"? This book is very magical but at the same time it's educational. It is trying to show that reading and math are both very important and them both are equal in importance! This book was awesome and at some parts boring but isn't every book? Even though it
might have some boring parts it's still very informational and I recommend this book to everyone!
Alexis B. What happens at an exciting part of the book!
The Phantom Tollbooth

The Phantom Tollbooth is a magnificent book. It talks about sounds,words,numbers,and color.There is a boy named Milo that goes on an unexpected adventure that changes the way he sees life. The pictures and words may not pop of the page, but it is what the text says that counts. There are puns,idioms,figurative writing used as literal writing,and names of characters that relate to who they are. I recommend it to someone who loves ELA. A person that is amazed with all the possibilities of creative writing. I give the book 5 out of 5 stars. There may be some critics out there that find all the little things to say bad about this book, they're just haters. They probably envy Norton Juster because he can create and imagine things no one else has and see everything differently then anyone else.
