Review Quotes: "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
"A classic--Humorous, full of warmth and real invention."-The New Yorker "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 "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
