Book Description
Norton Juster's timeless, best-selling novel will reach an even wider readership with this outstanding Spanish translation. Milo thinks that just about everything is a big waste of time--when he even bothers to think at all. But he starts to see life in a whole new way after a mysterious gift transports him to the Lands Beyond. Accompanied by the ticking watchdog Tock and the boastful Humbug, Milo embarks on an unforgettable quest to rescue Princesses Rhyme and Reason and restore common sense to the Kingdom of Wisdom.
