The Neverending Story: A fantasy classic

There is no better book to begin this blog with than The Neverending Story, by Michael Ende. Since its publication in 1979, it has been translated into dozens of languages and has become a favorite of many readers around the world. Its popularity continues today.

 

The book starts out as a story-within-a-story: Bastian, a fat and lonely boy who the other kids often pick on, starts reading a strange book about the terrible problems threatening the creatures of the land of Fantastica. Bastian decides to run away, and he hides out in the attic of his school. In the book he is reading, various creatures (including a centaur, a flying dragon, and a host of others) are involved in a desperate attempt to cure their ailing empress and to rid Fantastica of a dark force that is gradually eating away its lands and its inhabitants.

 

Then, something extremely strange starts to happen. The two stories (about Bastian and about Fantastica) become oddly intertwined, and Bastian finds he has a lot to worry about beyond how to survive in the school attic.

 

Don’t be discouraged by the length of The Neverending Story (almost 400 pages). Once you get a few chapters into it, you won’t want to put it down. This book is best for readers who are 10 years old or older.
