Michael Ende's The Neverending Story is a magical novel following a young boy who discovers a mysterious book that draws him into its fantasy world. As the boundary between reader and story blurs, Ende creates a meditation on imagination, the power of stories, and what happens when we stop believing in magic. The revised edition celebrates a work that has enchanted generations with its exploration of how stories save us.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Ende understood that the best stories are the ones that make us question what's real and what's imagined. The Neverending Story reminds us that imagination isn't childish, it's essential, and that the worlds we create in our minds are as real as the ones we walk through.
