For those unfamiliar with the book, it's the story of Milo, who doesn't see the point in anything, least of all learning things. Then one day, a mysterious tollbooth appears, leading to all sorts of peculiar places. Milo is soon joined by the watchdog Tock and the pompous Humbug and together, they travel to Dictionopolis. In this city ruled by King Azaz the Unabridged and his advisors, words are revered and order is maintained by Officer Shrift and a Guard. Milo and Tock meet a Spelling Bee, a giant, and various sellers and buyers of words, before finding themselves in prison with a Which, who tells them of the feud between Azaz and his brother, the Mathemagician. The brothers' fighting led to the banishment of Rhyme and Reason, since which time nothing has been quite right.
Can Milo rescue Rhyme and Reason and restore the land of Wisdom to its former harmony? Come and find out, and share in Milo's marvelous journey!
