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 &

and starring Jude Law
