Resumen del Editor
Hailed as "a classic...humorous, full of warmth and real invention" (The New Yorker), this beloved story - first published more than 50 years ago - introduces readers to Milo and his adventures in the Lands Beyond.
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....
"I read [The Phantom Tollbooth] first when I was 10. I still have the book report I wrote, which began 'This is the best book ever.'" (The New York Times)
"The Phantom Tollbooth is the closest thing we have to a modern Alice in Wonderland." (The Guardian)
"The book lingers long after turning the final page.... A classic indeed." (Los Angeles Review of Books)
Reseñas de la Crítica
"I read The Phantom Tollbooth first when I was 10. I still have the book report I wrote, which began 'This is the best book ever.'" (Anna Quindlen, The New York Times)
“The Phantom Tollbooth is the closest thing we have to a modern Alice in Wonderland.” (The Guardian)
"A classic - Humorous, full of warmth, and real invention." (The New Yorker)
“You loved the humor and adventure...and [now] you’ll marvel at [the book's] wit, complexity, and its understanding of how children perceive the passage of time.” (Entertainment Weekly)
Editorial Review
By the time I found The Phantom Tollbooth as an adult, my appreciation for wordplay had already been firmly established. But Rainn Wilson (who you might remember as Dwight on The Office) fell in love with its fantasy world of words as a kid, and says it's still one of his favorite books. When I heard he’d be narrating this classic, I thought he’d be perfect. (He is.) And when I was offered the opportunity to chat with him, the only possible answer was yes. Listen in to find out about his favorite characters, a surprise guest narrator, and whether Rainn gets the last word. —Heather S., Audible Editor

Discovered in the forests of Ashton Place, the Incorrigibles are no ordinary children: Alexander keeps his siblings in line with gentle nips; Cassiopeia has a bark that is (usually) worse than her bite; and Beowulf is alarmingly adept at chasing squirrels.

In the good old days, magic was indispensable - it could both save a kingdom and clear a clogged drain. But now magic is fading: drain cleaner is cheaper than a spell, and magic carpets are used for pizza delivery. Fifteen-year-old foundling Jennifer Strange runs Kazam, an employment agency for magicians - but it’s hard to stay in business when magic is drying up. And then the visions start, predicting the death of the world’s last dragon at the hands of an unnamed Dragonslayer.

Gilly wouldn't call herself wicked, exactly...but when you have five little brothers and sisters and live in a run-down boot, you have to get creative to make ends meet. Gilly's a pretty good thief (if she does say so herself). Until she gets caught. Gilly's sentenced to three months at Fairy Tale Reform School where all of the teachers are former (super-scary) villains like the Big Bad Wolf, the Evil Queen, and Cinderella's Wicked Stepmother. Harsh. But when she meets fellow students Jax and Kayla, she learns there's more to this school than its heroic mission.

The Disc’s very existence is about to be threatened by a strange new blight: the world’s first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land.

Historia
We all know about the famous generals and the major battles of the Civil War. But for the soldiers who actually fought, the war was all too real. It was especially traumatic for the thousands of soldiers who ranged in age from 10 to 15. Some young soldiers joined the fray to escape the boredom of farm work or to "set the South straight". Many of them kept diaries and wrote letters home. Through their eyes, we see what life was like on the edge of chaos.

A Classic for Unconventional Minds
This book is a total classic geared towards minds that defy the usual. Wordplay, philosophical arguments, and crossing of the senses are among the themes that stand out from this book, and Rainn Wilson's portrayal of the story gives it great justice.

A Childhood Favorite in a Wonderful Audiobook!!
Rainn Wilson does so well with this story. His voice is smooth and steady throughout. He handles character changes easily. The surprise of his son's voice was ok, but also a bit odd because it was the only voice not done by Mr Wilson out of all the characters we meet. It felt out of place at first but then it seemed as if it would've been nice to have a boy's voice for Milo as well the entire time.
As for the actual book, I am in love with the marriage of math and language used in a story to teach a lesson without beating the reader over the head with it. There are miniature lessons in the individual subjects and there is one overall message that is plainly revealed at the end of the book so that anyone reading or listening can understand why Milo needed this journey.
I know the author wrote the book for a middle grades audience, but I recommend it for adults and younger children as well. I would recommend having a physical copy of the book for some to follow along, I know I loved seeing the wordplay written out (I'm a Word Nerd) and it helped me to see the numbers and goings on in Digitopolis. I have read the book many times and I still stop and solve the math problem every time because I find it fun and a great way to jog my memory about math rules. Teachers could could use this book in class to tie together multiple subjects into one unit. I can think of so many people who could find this book entertaining and some who would find it useful as well.

Brilliant!
Rainn Wilson's narration brought this children's classic to life! It took me back to when I first read it at age 10. This book did more for molding the way I perceive the world than any other. What a fun journey back through this magic kingdom!

Forgotten just how awesome this is!
I remember reading this book growing up, but I had forgotten just how fantastic the adventure was, a tale for both kids and adults. This performance was thoroughly entertaining and well done, a perfect rendition of the story and its many characters. We all can, and should, take lessons from Milo and crew. Highly recommended: entertaining, smart, funny, and applicable to today’s world.

Amazing book for unmotivated readers
I wish each kid 6th-12th grade would read this book. It made me laugh out loud many times. It’s very witty, entertaining and dare I say pretty eye-opening & educational. My 7 year old daughter stopped what she was doing & sat down in awe to listen with me. It entertains the reader while also gets one to really think about their own take on life. A fantastic book all-around!

Thank You - from a teacher
Reading to this book to my class would not have been the same as Rainn Wilson reading it. The voices, dialect, etc. brought the characters to life, and he did an excellent job of helping all of us to visualize this brilliant story. My students enjoyed it immensely.

The Phantom Tollbooth
This is one of my favorite audiobooks to listen to on long walks and before bed. I think that the voice of .58 could be a bit better, but that’s just my opinion. Overall this is the perfect book for anyone and is the best.

Great way to introduce tricky words
Glad to be able to introduce and explain tricky English words that are homographs, homophones, and common phrases that dont make literal sense.
