Told with all the thrills of a classic adventure, the story begins wit Bastian, a lonely boy, who stumbles into a curious bookshop where he discovers a wondrous 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 accepts and, with his horse and companion, Artax rides to face the menace.
