Wonderstruck by Brian Selznick
Brian Selznick once again takes you on an awe-inspiring journey.
Set 50 years apart, two independent stories — Ben’s told in words and Rose’s in pictures — weave back and forth. 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.
