Although Milo stops by Digitopolis, the city of numbers, this book is really for people who love playing with words. Clever puns (and a few groaners) whiz by a mile a minute, even in the middle of the Doldrums.
This book is about a boy who goes on a journey from being utterly bored with life to seeing all the fantastic things worth living for. Milo and his car, a dog, and a bug find themselves jumping to conclusions, upsetting applecarts, enduring aural assaults, and attempting to reach infinity as they try to return Rhyme and Reason to the land.
