<P> Bastian Balthazar Bux is a shy and bookish boy around 12 years old who is neglected by his father , who is still mourning the sudden death of his wife ( she died of an unspecified illness ) . He is a dreamer , who is shunned by other children due to his immense imagination . During a visit to an antique bookstore , he steals a curious - looking book titled The Neverending Story , and upon reading it he finds himself literally drawn into the story . </P>
