Momo

Average rating4.2
*The Neverending Story* is Michael Ende's best-known book, but *Momo,* published six years earlier, is the all-ages fantasy novel that first won him wide acclaim. After the sweet-talking gray men come to town, life becomes terminally efficient. Can Momo, a young orphan girl blessed with the gift of listening, vanquish the ashen-faced time thieves before joy vanishes forever?

Every so often a book appears at just the right time; or, perhaps more accurately, I pick it up at just the right time after years on my to-read pile. Momo was enchanting and so perfectly relevant. All about listening, kindness, attention, love, and our brief time on Earth. A little heavyhanded, and admittedly not really a five, but I'm giving it five anyway.
I keep thinking about this book. It should be so much more famous! (In the USA, that is. I know Michael Ende is much better known in some places and obviously in Germany.) Truly, in my humble opinion, this is a masterpiece of children's literature akin to A Little Princess, The Phantom Tollbooth, or A Wrinkle in Time.
Sería un libro que por el principio no me terminaría pero al final sí me ha gustado.
Como no si lo recomienda Natalia algo debe de tener
