Within the imagination of a young boy there is an adventure waiting to begin. To live it takes courage. Enter the extraordinary world of The Neverending Story, and experience a neverending feast for the mind, the eyes, and the heart of the child in all of us.
Somewhere, skeptical twelve-year-old Bastian Bux lost his desire to dream. Perhaps it was the reality of his mother’s death. But her teachings of the beauty of the imagination are not entirely lost on Bastian. Her spirit encourages him to investigate the wonders of a mysterious leather-bound book, “The Neverending Story.” Once the book is opened, Bastian is transported into Fantasia—a magical, improbable world of his own making where the solutions to his earthly problems are buried like hidden treasures. To find them, all he has to do is believe.
At battle in the medieval land of Fantasia are both divine and malevolent forces: the Childlike Empress who rules in light; Xayide, the despotic teenaged ruler of the Dark City; shape-shifters and werewolves; dragons and gnomes; Dark Knights and drones; and the strange villagers of Woodland, a world of warriors, friends, and foes, unto itself. But hovering over all is The Nothing. It’s a fearsome force that threatens to strip the pages of “The Neverending Story” of its color, its creativity, its very life, leaving only stark, terrifying…nothing. Bastian Bux’s adventure is just beginning. His imagination depends on its outcome. All he has to do is keep reading, wondering, and believing that anything is possible.
