The Phantom Tollbooth
by Norton Juster
Bored Milo drives a toy car through a tollbooth into a land where words are sold at market and numbers are mined, to rescue Rhyme and Reason.
A story about children and magical creatures, strange and funny in tone. We would put it with children of 9–12, and at a reading age of about 10 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
