This unique book contains two seemingly parallel stories (each written in a different color): the first, in the real world, begins when Bastian finds a book called "The Neverending Story" and begins to read it; while the second takes place in the fictitious realm of Fantasy, where Atreyu must find a cure for the queen, who suffers from a strange disease. But are both stories really independent?
