Milo está triste y aburrido porque no sabe qué hacer. Nada le parece interesante ni tampoco se le ocurre ningún sitio al que le gustaría ir. Pero un día todo cambia cuando encuentra un regalo muy extraño en su habitación. Este extraordinario regalo es la caseta mágica que lo conducirá al Reino de Sabiduría: un lugar insólito en el cual se venden letras en los mercados y los mineros desentierran números. Desgraciadamente, este maravilloso reino sufre grandes problemas y Milo debe rescatar a las princesas Rima y Razón. Ellas son las únicas que pueden lograr que las ciudades de Diccionópolis y Digitópolis hagan las paces. Junto a sus compañeros Toc, un perro guardián que hace tictic, y el Embaucador, un insecto fanfarrón que lleva un abrigo, Milo emprende el viaje para rescatar a las princesas del Castillo en el Aire. ¡Poco se podía imaginar Milo al comenzar sus aventuras los extraños seres con que se enfrentaría en la temibles Montañas de Ignorancia! La caseta mágica es una historia llena de humor, ironía y mucha fantasía; es un clásico contemporáneo para todas las edades.
