By Michael Ende (445 pgs)
Originally written in German this book has spawned one of the classic children's movies of my childhood. Surprisingly the movie is actually pretty close to the first 200 pages of the book and in, some few ways, the movie is better than the book. The differences though make sense in the context of the whole novel. The second movie, while less true to the book, contains many of the same themes.
The story is aimed towards a younger audience and is about the wishes universal to all children. I wish I had read it when I was younger. I think I would have found it immensely comforting.
