A bored young boy finds a way to travel to a mysterious land which teaches him the importance of words and numbers and most everything else in life.

Rating: ★★★★★ – loved it
Pros: puns, word play, beautiful descriptive language, hilarious, clever
Cons: literally none
This book is absolutely timeless (despite Tock the Watchdog) and everyone regardless of age should read it at least once.
It’s punny and clever, and trusts the reader’s intelligence. It’s even fun to read aloud, so if you have kids read it with them.
Seriously. Just read this book. You’ll be glad you did.
