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.
