Description

Wonderstruck is a groundbreaking novel in words and pictures that takes readers on an awe-inspiring journey. Caldecott Medalist and bookmaking pioneer Brian Selznick weaves together two independent stories, one told in words and the other in pictures, which ultimately intertwine in a mesmerizing and surprising way.

Ben and Rose, two children with secrets and dreams, embark on desperate quests to find what they are missing. Ben longs for the father he has never known, while Rose chronicles the life of a mysterious actress in her scrapbook. As they search for answers, their stories unfold and intertwine in a rich and complex narrative that will challenge and leave you breathless with wonder.

With over 460 pages of original artwork, Wonderstruck is a stunning achievement from a gifted artist and visionary. This is the first book in a thematic trilogy, followed by The Invention of Hugo Cabret and The Marvels, which together offer a unique reading experience.
