The Phantom Tollbooth is about a kid named Milo who travels to a different dimension with a tollbooth. And he goes on a mission with two new friends that he makes in his travels. They are going on the mission to find Rhyme and Reason who are two sisters who used to fix every problem between the two kingdoms Digitopolis and Dictionopolis. They got taken away and put in a castle in the sky and Milo and his friends had to find them.

Milo is daring, brave and adventurous. He is daring because when he was willing to go on a mission to find the two princesses Rhyme and Reason. An example of when he is brave is when he encounters demons in Digitopolis and he outsmarts them. Milo is adventurous because in the book he goes on all of these missions in the new dimension.  

My favorite part of the book was when Milo, the Humbug and Tock the dog got into Digitopolis after their long hard journey. It was my favorite part of the book because it took them so long and most of the book to get there and it sort of felt good when they got to the destination, but that was not the end of the story. Also, I really liked when Milo, the Humbug and Tock rescued Rhyme and Reason because their escape was really cool and the two cities Digitopolis and Dictionopolis came to agreement for once. My favorite quote from this part of the book is when Milo says, “We’ve come to rescue you both,” Milo explained very seriously, “And the worried demons are close behind.” said the Humbug, still shaken from his ordeal. This was exciting because it explained why they were in a hurry to rescue them.

I liked this book because it kept you very eager to read. My reasons are almost every chapter ended in a cliffhanger and there were a bunch of different stories and every character had a different unique personality. I would recommend this book to people who like adventure because it has a lot of action and cliffhangers.It does not remind me of any other thing because they use really sophisticated language and words that don’t make any sense that I have not seen in other books. I rate this book four stars because it was really good but I am a picky critic.
