\"Momo is written by Michael Ende, the author who is most known in the US for having written The Neverending Story. When I was younger, and my mother ran an independent children's bookstore, she ordered a case of this book, and gave a copy to all of her friends and colleagues. She would then call them up a week later to ask what they thought. Every single person she gave this book to loved it.\" - Goodreads.com user review
