The Neverending Story by Michael Ende

A boy in love with books named Bastian has stolen one. Sure that he will be imprisoned if he tells his father, he hides in the school attic. There he is drawn into the Neverending Story...
A dreadful thing is spreading across Fantastica. The Childlike Empress is terribly sick, and no one except a human can give her a new name. Fantastica is almost lost when Bastian gives the Childlike Empress a new name. THen he is granted the power to make everyone's wishes come true-but every time he does, he loses a memory of home. You need at least one more memory to go home, and when he loses it....

The book was great for me because I make up all kinds of wierd things in my head and the Story is full of strange and interesting things. I enjoyed the problem of Bastian losing his memory because it happens. So what's he going to do? the ending's really great and answered everything and finished everything.

A fun fact- today is All Saint's Day. Yesterday was Halloween. When did Halloween get like this?
Mom(and Mr. Spears) said that people first dressed up to mock the devil. The horns and pichfork,etc-saying you're just a ridiculous thing, not even worth being called an angel.

I am looking for a producer for The Neverending Story on stage at Javits Convention Center in New York City. Both an opera and ballet score have been composed by Siegfried Matthus. And along with The Kennedy/Marshall Co. and Appian Way, Warner Bros. is producing The Neverending Story as a modern feature film with an original soundtrack.
