From Brian Selznick, the creator of the Caldecott Medal winner The Invention of Hugo Cabret, comes another breathtaking tour de force.
Playing with the form he created in his trailblazing debut novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret, Brian Selznick once again sails into uncharted territory and takes readers on an awe-inspiring journey.
Ben and Rose secretly wish their lives were different. Ben longs for the father he has never known. Rose dreams of a mysterious actress whose life she chronicles in a scrapbook. When Ben discovers a puzzling clue in his mother’s room and Rose reads an enticing headline in the newspaper, both children set out alone on desperate quests to find what they are missing.
Set fifty years apart, these two independent stories–Ben’s told in words, Rose’s in pictures–weave back and forth with mesmerizing symmetry. How they unfold and ultimately intertwine will surprise you, challenge you, and leave you breathless with wonder. Rich, complex, affecting, and beautiful–with over 460 pages of original artwork–Wonderstruck is a stunning achievement from a uniquely gifted artist and visionary.

Second “picture” fiction from Brian Selznick. Not a sequel to HUGO CABRET however. In this story the pictures play an even more important role. This story of two people whose lives intertwine. Heroine’s story is pictures only. Hero is the text. In this book you must “read” the pictures even more closely than in THE INVENTION OF HUGO CABRET (which won the Caldecott Award for the pictures)because the two strands in the story demand it. You will not be able to put this one down until the end. Highly recommended.
