A gripping adventure, full of weird and wonderful creatures, exciting foes, wondrous allies, and the power of imagination.
Told with all the thrills of a classic adventure, the story begins with Bastian, a lonely boy, being chased by bullies, who stumbles into a curious bookshop where he discovers a curious book—The Neverending Story. Bastian hides in the attic of his school and begins to read, and a huge adventure surges into life. Fantastica, a land of stories, is being destroyed by the Nothing. The Childlike Empress has chosen Atreyu, a young hunter, to be the Hero of the Great Quest. Atreyu, an orphan, is an unlikely choice, but he bravely accepts and, with his horse and companion, Artax, rides to face the menace. His journey through strange places, meeting exotic characters and facing great challenges, leads back to Bastian for the quest to be completed.
