Falkor helps Atreyu to find Uyulala, who tells Atreyu how the Empress can be healed: she must be given a new name by a human child. On his way to find Uyulala, Atreyu rescues a luckdragon, Falkor, from the monster Ygramul the Many. However, he can’t afford to buy it, so he steals the book and takes it back to his hideaway in the attic of his school, where he settles down to read.Ītreyu seeks the advice of the wise giant turtle, Morla the Aged One, who suggests that an invisible oracle, Uyulala, might know how to cure the Empress. Browsing at random, he stumbles on a novel called The Neverending Story.

One day, in order to escape his tormentors, he ducks into the antiquarian bookstore owned by Carl Conrad Coreander. His misery is compounded by bullying at school. His mother has died, and his father is cold and distant. Bastian Balthazar Bux is a strange, nerdy, and overweight boy. However, the movie reproduced only the first half of Ende’s book, and the author was so outraged that he sued the producers. The Neverending Story was adapted into a movie of the same title in 1984. It follows the adventures of Bastian Balthazar Bux, a boy who has been victimized by bullies, as he escapes into the fantasy world of a novel, also called The Neverending Story, first by reading it, and later by literally entering the world of the novel. The Neverending Story ( Die unendliche Geschichte) is a 1979 young adult novel by the German writer Michael Ende, first published in English in 1983.
