Milo, a bored young boy, is presented with a magic tollbooth and a little car that he uses to drive to a mysterious land where nothing is quite as it seems. He makes friends with a Watch Dog, a Humbug, and many other unusual creatures, who together learn valuable lessons about perspective and overcoming obstacles.

Children, teens, and anyone who is young at heart.

The variety of whimsical, witty characters, the creative metaphors and clever wordplay, and the grand yet simple themes.

Start on a creative project. It always inspires me to take another look around me and appreciate the tiny details and the enormous quantity of learning opportunities abounding.

Excited, thoughtful, amused, and inspired.

It is creative and funny, teaching gentle lessons through the development of delightful characters in absurd situations.
