Reach for this book when your child seems chronically bored, complains that school is pointless, or feels that there is nothing new to discover in the world. It is the ultimate antidote to the 'I'm bored' blues, following a boy named Milo who travels through a magical tollbooth to a land where words and numbers come to life. As Milo journeys from the Doldrums to the Mountains of Ignorance, he discovers that curiosity is a choice and that learning is a grand adventure. This classic is perfect for ages 8 to 12. It uses wit and wordplay to show children that a lack of interest is often just a lack of perspective. Parents choose it to spark a love for language and logic while helping children build the mental resilience needed to find wonder in the everyday.
