Norton Juster

How sad to discover Norton Juster too late. May his memory be a blessing.

I start the Phantom Tollbooth tomorrow with my students. Thank you for your creativity, your gift, and your amazing way with words. My students have been enthralled for years, and this new group of students will come to love you the way the world has. Rest in peace our creative genius. Your legacy is alive and well with students around the globe. What a treasure your writing is to us.

The Hello Goodbye Window made us all a bit teary and Sweetie Pie or Sourpuss could not have captured the essence of our child more. He has left a great legacy and inspired many with his wit...

Books are forever gifts my heart to yours miss m rip
