Momo
Momo lives in the ruins of an amphitheater and possesses a rare gift for listening so completely that people find their own answers. Her community changes when the grey men persuade everyone to save time, leaving life busier, colder, and less human. With help from the tortoise Cassiopeia and the mysterious Professor Hora, Momo challenges the thieves who have made hurry seem sensible. Gentle and inventive, this allegorical fantasy suits an unhurried afternoon for readers thinking about friendship, attention, and what makes time worth having.
