The Neverending Story by Michael Ende Review
Reviewed by Meghan Davis (Age 9)
The story is about 2 boys. Bastian, who lives in our world and Atreyu, who lives in Fantasia.
Bastian steals a book from the local book shop and runs to the only place he can read the book in peace, the school attic!!
When he starts to read, I found myself reading with him about the dying world. We follow the adventures of a boy named Atreyu who has been asked to go on a quest to save the childlike Emporess (the ruler) from a sickness.
The book has been written from two separate sides, Bastian’s side and Atreyu’s side. I thought this book was filled with suspense as I followed every step of Atreyu and Bastian’s journey’s. I am not going to go into the story anymore as I wouldn’t want to spoil it for anyone!!
I found this book hard to put down once I had started reading it and would definitely recommend it to my friends if they haven’t read it already!!
