*The Neverending Story* is Michael Ende's best-known book, but *Momo,* published six years earlier, is the all-ages fantasy novel that first won him wide acclaim. After the sweet-talking gray men come to town, life becomes terminally efficient. Can Momo, a young orphan girl blessed with the gift of listening, vanquish the ashen-faced time thieves before joy vanishes forever?

Every so often a book appears at just the right time; or, perhaps more accurately, I pick it up at just the right time after years on my to-read pile. Momo was enchanting and so perfectly relevant. All about listening, kindness, attention, love, and our brief time on Earth. A little heavyhanded, and admittedly not really a five, but I'm giving it five anyway.
I keep thinking about this book. It should be so much more famous! (In the USA, that is. I know Michael Ende is much better known in some places and obviously in Germany.) Truly, in my humble opinion, this is a masterpiece of children's literature akin to A Little Princess, The Phantom Tollbooth, or A Wrinkle in Time.
Sería un libro que por el principio no me terminaría pero al final sí me ha gustado.
Como no si lo recomienda Natalia algo debe de tener
Es el libro que me inició en la lectura. Es interesante, atrapante y divertido
