| | Michael Ende, Momo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) |
 | | His friend -- our heroine -- Momo lives in a ruined amphitheater on the outskirts of a city that is vaguely modern and European. |
 | | Cassiopeia, a turtle with a few special abilities of her own, saves Momo and brings the little girl to Professor Hora, who gives her the knowledge she needs to resist the men in gray and save her friends from their machinations. |
 | | Reading Momo as a twelve-year-old, the story mesmerized me. Reading Momo as an adult, I enjoy the story but I am drawn to the statements the novel makes about the value of time, the nature of money, and the definition of truth. |
