An Interview with Caroline Starr Rose
For my thirty-eighth Dream Gardens kid lit podcast, I interviewed author Caroline Starr Rose about her favorite children’s book, the classic middle grade fantasy novel The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster.
Originally published in 1961, The Phantom Tollbooth tells the story of a young boy named Milo who doesn’t quite know what do with himself until a he receives a mysterious package with a tollbooth that will take him on an adventure unlike anything he has ever known. There he’ll meet Tock, a watch dog with an actual watch on his stomach, Alec Bings, a boy who will float in the air until he grows down and touches it, and King Aza who takes Milo to a banquet where the guests eat their words. Literally. Along the way he’ll travel through the lands of Digitopolis and the Doldrums, among many others, in his quest to find the princesses Rhyme and Reason and restore balance to the kingdom. Full of memorable characters, fantastic situations, and rampant word play, The Phantom Tollbooth has been a favorite of children and adults for many years.
Caroline Starr Rose is the author of the middle grade novel Jasper and the Riddle of Riley’s Mines, the picture book Ride On Will Cody, and coming in 2020, the middle grade historical novel Miraculous. In addition, she offers critique services through Writing One on One. You can find Caroline’s website at carolinestarrrose.com.
