| Bastian
Balthazar Bux isn't very good at defending himself against bullies.
In fact, he isn't very good at much of anything. So, when the bullies
from school come after him one morning all he can do is run. Maybe
it's luck that he chooses to hide in the bookstore on the corner or maybe
it's something more. Whatever it might have been, his unplanned detour
starts him on adventure unlike any he could have ever imagined. Before
he can even think about it he takes the book from the old man's chair and
races to school with it. Once there, he locks himself in the attic
and begins to read. At first it seems like any other tale of fantasy,
but as he continues to read Bastian finds himself being pulled further
and further into the pages until he suddenly discovers that he has been
a part of the Neverending Story from the very beginning. And that's
when Bastian's real adventures begin. (Miranda J. Hawkins,
