New Post--A Magic Place

I have been reading The Phantom Tollbooth to use in my 5th grade class. If you haven't read it, put it on your night stand. It is about a boy named Miles who is bored out of his mind and receives a magic tollbooth. When he puts it together, he drives to a magical land of language. As I have been reading, I've been thinking about all the successful books, adult and children, which take us to a magical land and after we have learned our lesson transport us back to our world with our new life changing knowledge. If you could be transported to a magical land, what would it be? What would your life changing lesson be? Would you be chanting, "There's no place like home," and clicking your ruby slippers together. Would you realize like Miles that you have to create your own magical world with your mind through language?
