The Phantom Tollbooth Review - Jashan Takhar

Due to popular opinion among my classmates at the time, I expected The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster to be a "really awesome good book" as a 5th grader several years ago.

Ray is from Maine, where the Walk starts and most of the story takes place. I have read a few of Stephen King's novels and short stories before The Long Walk , but this book was different.
