Momo

by Michael Ende

Ages 10–13 Reading age 11 Novel Set in everyday life thoughtfulepic

Grey men in grey hats are persuading a whole city to save time in their bank, and only a girl who is very good at listening notices.

A story about children and a grown-up villain, thoughtful and epic in tone. We would put it with children of 10–13, and at a reading age of about 11 for reading alone.

Worth knowing before you buy

Or let them write their own.

Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
