   Analysis. Milo is a little boy who never knows what to do with himself. If he’s in school, he wants to be at home; when he’s home, he wants to be out. Nothing interests him, and he believes almost everything is a waste of time. One day, walking home from school, he laments that there’s no point to learning.

   Is the tollbooth package easy to put together at home?

   • It’s supposedly easy to put together at home, and it’s for people who have “never traveled in lands beyond.” The tollbooth package is far too interesting for Milo to pass up opening, which shows that Milo can be engaged when something unusual disrupts the monotony of his days (though his excitement is still lukewarm).

   How does Tollbooth portray the modern world?

   Analysis. In Chapters 1 and 2, Juster sets out the major theme of the book in two forms, one general and the other more specific.
