Bastian Balthazar Bux (Bastian), is a little boy who just doesn’t quite seem to fit into the world. After the death of his mother, his father has become distant and neglected, lost in his own grief.
Bastian is lonely, shunned and bullied at school with only his imagination for company.
One while escaping the pursuit of some bullies, Bastian takes refuge in an antique bookstore and comes across a copy of ‘The Neverending Story’ bewitched, intrigued and unable to resist, he steals the book and secludes himself away to read it.

Within its pages Bastian is transported to a magical mystical land ‘Fantastica’ and a cast of beautiful, whimsical, extraordinary, brave, humorous and dangerous characters, like the mysterious Childlike Empress, the boy warrior Atreyu, a Luckdragon called Falkor, Morla an ancient giant turtle and the dark and malevolent force known as the Nothing.

This still one of my all-time favourites, like when you realise, that as Bastian is reading, he starts to realise that characters in the book are become aware of him. Still gives me goosebumps.
It truely is ‘The Neverending Story’ you’ll want to share it with others and ref it together and back to it again and again.
