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? With gorgeous new drawings by Marcel Dzama and a new translation from the German by Lucas Zwirner, this all-new 40th anniversary edition celebrates the book’s first U.S. publication in over 25 years.

"Lovely children's book by the same author who penned The Neverending Story. It focuses on the concept of time and what we lose when we only care about being efficient with our time (what do we really save when we "save time"?). Highly recommended! "

"One of my favorite ones!! I’m never going to be tired of read it. Such a good book for practice the active listening and empathy. "

"This book is considered juvenile fiction but the grey men are so relevant for anyone who feels stuck in a dead end job or like your life is on repeat. This book makes you wonder how you can get out of a rut and reconnect with what's most important friends and family"
