Wonderstruck

Rich, complex, affecting and beautiful, Wonderstruck

is a staggering achievement from a uniquely gifted artist.

In this groundbreaking tour de force, Caldecott Medalist

and bookmaking pioneer Brian Selznick sails into uncharted territory

and takes readers on an awe-inspiring journey.

Ever since his mother died, Ben feels lost. At home

with her father, Rose feels alone. 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.

With over 460 pages of original artwork Wonderstruck

is a stunning achievement from a gifted artist and

visionary.

A stunning gift book to be treasured for a lifetime.

Don't miss Selznick's other novels in words and pictures, The

Invention of Hugo Cabret and The Marvels,

which together with Wonderstruck, form an extraordinary

thematic trilogy!

Wonderstruck is now a feature-length film starring Julianne

Moore and Michelle Williams

Brian's first book, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, was

the winner of the esteemed Caldecott Medal, the

first novel to do so, as the Caldecott Medal is for picture books

& made into a feature length film, HUGO, directed by Martin

Scorsese and starring Jude Law
