Momo

           Momo, by Michael Ende, is the enthralling tale of a young girl and a small town. One day Momo turns  up and begins to live in the ruined amphitheater near town. Nobody really knows where she came from, aside from that she ran away from a children's home, but Momo soon becomes an invaluable friend to the townspeople. This is because she was such a good listener. She did not  say the right thing at the right time, or always interrupt when she felt the need to speak. She simply listened the right way to everyone. This eventually made her indispensable to the townspeople, especially the children.

          Years later, when momo is known and loved by everyone, people start to become more interested in timesaving than the pursuit of happiness. At the same time, men in dark suits start to go around all over the town, yet no one seems to notice.  Momo and her still remaining friends see the connections, but not until it is almost to late. Momo is soon left on her own to save the town and its inhabitants. This is a story I would recommend for anyone looking for a good adventure!
