Juster had no input into the adaptation, and has expressed his hatred for the film in an interview: "It was a film I never liked. I don't think they did a good job on it. It's been around for a long time. It was well reviewed, which also made me angry. Milo, a bored boy who lives in a San Francisco apartment block, is surprised by a large, gift-wrapped package that has appeared in his room. The package turns out to be a tollbooth which is a gateway into a magical parallel universe. As Milo uses the tollbooth's toy car to pass through the tollbooth, the character moves from live action to animation, and after getting accustomed to this he drives further, and is transported to the enchanted Kingdom of Wisdom in the Lands Beyond and the states of Dictionopolis Kingdom of Words and Digitopolis Kingdom of Mathematics. Accompanied by Tock, a "watchdog" who actually has a large pocketwatch in his body, Milo has a series of adventures in places like the Doldrums, Dictionopolis, Digitopolis, the Mountains of Ignorance and the Castle in the Air. Together they must rescue the Princesses of Sweet Rhyme and Pure Reason, who are being held captive in the Castle in the Air, and restore order to the Kingdom of Wisdom. Kakofonous A. Jones remarked, "It was a natural progression to another Juster work. On this one Les Goldman and Abe Levitow are my co-producers. Levitow and I are directing and Maurice Noble is production designer. In a departure from the novel, Ralph was added to the film to act as a friend to Milo. Jones explained, "It had to be a boy named Ralph. Anybody called Steve or Mike would have called with something to do. Ralph sounds like a wet tennis shoe. The release was accompanied with six other films that were released across key cities throughout the United States. Martin and Paul Vance two more songs unless otherwise noted. The film was not a box office hit. Charles Champlin of the Los Angeles Times wrote that the film "is a lively and warming enchantment with real appeal for the 7-plus age group—and theplusses run up well into adulthood. More than 20 characters are thrown at the audience in 90 minutes; children will barely be able to recognize them before they disappear forever. Discovery and delight do not come at the end of the trail, but along the way. The going is the goal. Time Out Paris wrote that the story has "too many lessons" but "some very nice ideas". Milo learns a valuable lesson from Rhyme that he had never stopped to consider before: the real secret to defeating boredom is not finding something to do, but finding something to do from you can learn something new. Sad to leave, but armed with newfound power of knowledge, Milo says goodbye and heads off. When he passes through the tollbooth and arrives back home, he is shocked to learn that he was only gone for a few hours since weeks had passed during his adventures in Lands Beyond. Although he plans to go back to the magical land the next day when he gets out of school, he discovers the tollbooth is no longer there. The Whether Man likes to twist words around and giving them new meanings: "I'm the Whether Man, not the Weather Man, for after all it's more important to know whether there will be weather than what the weather will be". The Whether Man reflects Now, pay attention.

Start your review of The Phantom Tollbooth. Oct 13, Patrick rated it liked it. I just finished this book with my oldest boy. I've been reading a chapter or two out loud to him every night when we can manage it. I never read The Phantom Tollbooth before, so it had no particular nostalgic appeal to me. But I'd heard about it, and it was in my house somehow so I decided to give it a try. Here's the short version: Meh. It's not awful. But it wasn't great, either. Overall, I found reading it to be a bit of a slog. When thinking ahead to reading time at night, I want to be exci I just finished this book with my oldest boy. When thinking ahead to reading time at night, I want to be excited. It's special time with my boy. But instead when I thought about this book, I mostly wanted to get through with it I could start reading a different, more engaging, book together with my boy. Here's the long version: Irritations: 1. No plot or tension. I'm fairly sure the formal term for a book like this is a picaresque. It's mostly just a series of adventures and visits to interesting places. There's not much of a plot. And before you get all impressed that I know that term, I'd like to mention that I only learned it in by listening to an interview with Neil Gaiman where he was discussing American Gods. I remember thinking, "Huh, apparently I've written a picaresque. I wish I'd known that about 10 years ago…. There's plenty of tension in American Gods. There's a mystery and action and questions that need answering. My point is, there's a lot of things going on in American Gods. Many things to make you curious. Many things to pull you into the story in addition to the interesting people and places that we meet through the course of the story. Phantom tollbooth doesn't have that. It's the story of a boy who goes places and stares around in amazement as things happen around him. He and his companions for the most part don't do anything. They're reactive, not active, and they're not particularly clever… Which leads to my next gripe… 2. The characters aren't that interesting. If your main character's motivation is that he's bored… well… that's not really edge-of-the- seat material is it? Don't get me wrong. I don't need an apocalypse. I don't need something to blow up. The Laura Ingalls Wilder books were fucking gripping. There were snowstorms and locusts and fucking bears. Just getting water or going to town was an adventure in those books. Charlie and the Chocolate factory is a picaresque too, of a sort. Every different piece of the factory is like a separate land and adventure. The grampa and all the other kids might be fairly simple characters, but they all have personalities. I just wasn't feeling the same way about the people in this book. Most of them were just some clothes loosely draped around rather thin jokes. It's Chaffy. There's a lot of what I consider "Junk Dialogue" in this book. People talking without saying anything purposeful. People arguing about nothing in particular. People repeating themselves. I know it might seem hypocritical for someone who wrote a , word novel to bitch about another author's economy of phrase. But the truth is, I make sure every scene and sub-scene in my books accomplish at least three productive things, more if I can manage it. And let me tell you, when you're reading a book out loud, you can tell when it's full of pointless description and dialogue. When you're reading to yourself you can skim without hardly realizing it. Not so when you're reading aloud to a child. Enjoyments: 1. I got to experience Oot's first pun. I got to see the light go on in his head when he understood the joke. That's worth a lot. It was the Watchdog. He's a dog with a clock in his body. He also enjoyed the fact that the Watchdog could fly a little because of the expression "time flies. They were just too abstract language-wise. Some of the concepts were fun and clever. I'm willing to admit that Oot is simply too young for this book. There were jokes about multiplication in there. And jokes about turns of phrase that he didn't know. And puns about expressions he'd never heard. But I don't think it's entirely fair to blame it on his age. There was a demon in there called a Dilemma that chased people and tried to gore them on its horns. You could easily be in your twenties and not know the expression, "on the horns of a Dilemma. My boy liked it well enough. When I asked him, he said he liked it. What's more, he remember the events and the characters better than I did. That said, he never came up to me holding the book and said, "Let's read some more! So this probably counts as a pretty lukewarm endorsement from him as well. So… yeah. Didn't love it. Didn't hate it. The sum total probably comes down slightly on the irritated side of indifferent. My advice? This is a book that your kid probably needs to be 10 to really enjoy, as it's got a lot of wordplay in it. And honestly, 12 might be better. Even so, I can think of a lot of books that are much more enjoyable with a lot less effort. View all 48 comments. Jul 29, karen rated it it was amazing Shelves: mg-rereads JULY as part of my personal reading challenges for , once a month i will be revisiting a favorite book from when i was a little bitty karen and seeing if it holds up to my fond memories and determining if i can still enjoy it as an old and crotchety karen. Most people do. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast. This driving force is a way to get around the fact that we will all die and there is no real point to life. But with the ASG there is a point. It is not such an important point that you postpone joy to achieve it. It is just a decoy point that keeps you bobbing along, allowing you to find ecstasy in the small things, the unexpected, and the everyday. What happens when you reach the stupid goal? Then what? You just find a new ASG. View all 16 comments. View all 3 comments.

My mother got this for us when I was 8 and it was first published in I still own that original edtion and it is not in great shape due to multiple readings. This is as much an adult as a children's book. Although I loved the story right away, it was more meaningful as I got older and I understood all the plays on words and deeper messages. Still worth rereading every decade or so as an adult, and it remains one of my favorite books. It's a very witty book.

After a long time, this is the first children book I've read. It's a good book. I read this book because of its amazing cover. And the fact that it's my cousin's course book. She lent it to me and I read it in three sittings. And loved it! It's the story of a bored child, Milo who doesn't find anything interesting in the real world. One day he gets Phantom Tollbooth as present which allows him to go to the You can swim all day in the Sea of Knowledge and still come out completely dry. One day he gets Phantom Tollbooth as present which allows him to go to the Land Beyond. The Land Beyond has two main and important kingdoms, Dictionpolis and Digitopolis. Dictionpolis is ruled by the king of words, Azaz. And Digitopolis is ruled by a Mathemagician. Both kingdoms are at conflict because their kings are biased of their own way of communication. The matters in kingdoms have become worse because of the absence of two princesses, Rhyme and Reason. Milo goes on the quest to save them along with his two companions, a dog and a bug. Words and numbers are of equal value, for, in the cloak of knowledge, one is warp and the other weft. But it had one or two of such moments. And in Digitopolis, there is Subtraction Stew. By eating this, you will feel more hungry than before! The way he made it un-silent was incredible. Not upto my satisfaction. You can get in a lot of trouble mixing up words or just not knowing how to spell them. All in all, it's a good book. Recommend it! View all 6 comments.

I am a reader, and I measure my life in books, and the ones that I read in my very early years were probably the most formative. You can learn a lot about a person by what their childhood was like- whether they played outside all the time or preferred to stay indoors, whether they read or didn't, whether they drew or played sports or learned instruments and languages. I, for one, loved words. I read many books with large words in them, and so I was always asking my mother what they meant, or look I am a reader, and I measure my life in books, and the ones that I read in my very early years were probably the most formative. I read many books with large words in them, and so I was always asking my mother what they meant, or looking them up in the dictionary, or trying to just guess. I loved long words, short words, words that were fun to say. I would spell them, write them down, sometimes just say them aloud in strings of total gibberish. Even as a child, I remember being amazed that I could make sounds with my mouth that other people could recognise and understand. The idea that I could say the word "apple," which really is an odd word when you look at it long enough, and that somebody else would know exactly what I was referring to was thrilling. I used to play a word association game I made up where I would think of a word, then think of a word associated with that word, then a word associated with that word, and on and on until I either tried to get back to the word I started with or tried to see how far I could deviate from my original word. So a game might start with the word "pencil" and go from there to "paper," "bag," "rag," "towel," "trowel," "garden," "green," "leaf," "tree," "wood," "paper. I would be lying if I said I didn't still do it occasionally. I loved books, too. I loved the idea that somebody could put words down on paper and that I could create a world in my mind based off of those words. From a young age, I followed characters, tried to predict plots, and lived in that lovely world somewhere between reality and imagination that we call literature. All of this boils down to the fact that, to me, language was a playground. And it all started with The Phantom Tollbooth. Well, not exactly. I'd been doing a lot of this stuff even before I read the book, but The Phantom Tollbooth really helped to make these qualities stick with me. Because I felt the way I do whenever I find a great book: that I'm not alone. Norton Juster, through wordplay and illustrations and wit, showed me that language, and, to an even greater extent, knowledge, was a wonderful thing. As I read this book and travelled among the Whether Man, Princess Rhyme and Princess Reason, the Mathemagician, and King Azaz the Unabridged, as I read riddles and jokes and equations and utter nonsense and wise advice and snatches of song, as I ventured with Milo and Tock into the Doldrums and the Lands Beyond, to Dictionopolis and Digitopolis and up over the Mountains of Ignorance, I recognised myself in all of these things, and each one of them told me that I wasn't weird for loving language and reading compulsively and making up words and collecting utterly useless facts. Or more accurately, they told me that I was weird- but that there aren't enough weird people in the world who commit themselves to these things, so it was okay. You can learn a lot about a person based on the books on their bookshelf: whether they're pristine or worn, whether they're organised or not, whether they've got notes written in the margins or flowers pressed between the covers or the signatures of authors. And if you were to look at my pitifully small bookshelf the rest of my books reside in two enormous stacks by my bed , you would find a worn, torn, stained, and utterly beloved copy of The Phantom Tollbooth. And perhaps you would be able to tell, just by looking at it, that it taught me one of the most important lessons I've learned: that imagination is a beautiful thing, and even if you think that you're too old for things like word games and math equations and fun facts and puns and stories- things, in short, that bring you knowledge and delight, even if you think you've outgrown them The Phantom Tollbooth: Plot Overview | SparkNotes

In , The Annotated Phantom Tollbooth was published, which includes sketches and copies of Juster's handwritten drafts and word lists, Feiffer's early drawings, and an introduction and annotations by Leonard S. A fiftieth anniversary edition was also published, with appreciations by Maurice Sendak , Michael Chabon and Philip Pullman. It has been adapted into a small-scale opera with music by Arnold Black , and a book by Juster and Sheldon Harnick , produced by Opera Delaware in It was then revamped into a musical that had its debut to strong reviews at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D. The Phantom Tollbooth remains acknowledged as a classic of children's literature. Juster feels that his book still has relevance today, although children's lives have changed since When I grew up I still felt like that puzzled kid—disconnected, disinterested and confused. There was no rhyme or reason in his life. My thoughts focused on him, and I began writing about his childhood, which was really mine Today's world of texting and tweeting is quite a different place, but children are still the same as they've always been. They still get bored and confused, and still struggle to figure out the important questions of life. Well, one thing has changed: As many states eliminate tolls on highways, some children may never encounter a real tollbooth. Luckily there are other routes to the Lands Beyond. And it is possible to seek them, and fun to try. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. This article is about the novel. For the film adaptation, see The Phantom Tollbooth film.

Milo continued to think of all sorts of things; of the many detours and wrong turns that were so easy to take, of how fine it was to be moving and, most of all, of how much could be accomplished with just a little thought. Why, we fought in the crusades with Richard the Lion Heart, crossed the Atlantic with Columbus, blazed trails with the pioneers, and today many members of the family hold important government positions throughout the world. History is full of Humbugs. It doesn't have a—" "Be very quiet," advised the duke, "for it goes without saying. Why, when you're fifteen things won't look at all the way they did when you were ten, and at twenty everything will change again. And, in the very room in which he sat, there were books that could take you anywhere, and things to invent, and make, and build, and break, and all the puzzle and excitement of everything he didn't know—music to play, songs to sing, and worlds to imagine and then someday make real. His thoughts darted eagerly about as everything looked new—and worth trying. Library of Congress online catalog. Library of Congress. Retrieved June 16, The Phantom Tollbooth. Penguin Random House.

When Milo asks to rescue the princesses, he has to use a bit of logical trickery of the Mathemagician in order gain the necessary permission required to complete the rescue.
