This is an adorable, endearing little book that I wish I had read as a child. <a href="https://wordery.com/the-phantom-tollbooth-norton-juster-9780007263486#oid=1159_1" target="new"><i>The Phantom Tollbooth</i></a> is about a little boy, Milo, and how he learns to enjoy life after discovering a magical tollbooth that mysteriously appears in his apartment. The tollbooth takes him on a magical journey to the Land of Expectation, the Doldrums, the Mountains of Ignorance, and the Castle in the Air. I am making it sound super goofy but, trust me, this book is a little gem.
