Illustrated in black-and-white. This ingenious fantasy centers around Milo a bored ten-year-old who comes home to find a large toy tollbooth sitting in his room. Joining forces with a watchdog named Tock Milo drives through the tollbooths gates and begins a memorable journey. He meets such characters as the foolish yet lovable Humbug the Mathemagician and the not-so-wicked Which Faintly Macabre who gives Milo the impossible mission of returning two princesses to the Kingdom of Wisdom.
