书籍简介

米洛的非凡旅程带他去了期望之地、赤道无风带、无知山脉和空中楼阁等地方。他遇到了奇怪、意想不到的人物（比如看门狗托克、凝胶巨人和一遍又一遍嘟囔着同样事情的陈词滥调的借口），回到家后，他迫不及待地想再次尝试收费亭。但是当他从学校回来时，它还会在那里吗？

诺顿·贾斯特的经典故事的这个版本包括获奖作家戴安娜·温妮·琼斯的特别介绍“为什么你会喜欢这本书”。

Milo’s extraordinary voyage takes him into such places as the Land of Expectation, the Doldrums, the Mountains of Ignorance and the Castle in the Air. He meets the weird and unexpected characters (such as Tock, the watchdog, the Gelatinous Giant, and the Threadbare Excuse, who mumbles the same thing over and over again), and, once home, can hardly wait to try out the Tollbooth again. But will it be still there when he gets back from school?

This edition of Norton Juster’s classic story includes a special “Why You’ll Love This Book” introduction by award-winning author, Diana Wynne Jones.
