Product Overview
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 Feiffers splendid illustrations, the wit, wisdom, and wordplay of Norton Justers offbeat fantasy are as beguiling as ever.
For Milo, everythings a bore. When a tollbooth mysteriously appears in his room, he drives through only because hes 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, its exciting beyond his wildest dreams!
