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.
