Wonderstruck by Brian Selznick

This new book by Brian Selznick is the same format as The Invention of Hugo Cabret. Two characters, Ben and Rose, have never met. In fact, their stories are about 50 years apart. After Ben's mother passes away, he sets out on a journey to find the father that he never met. His story is told with words. Rose, who is deaf, longs to get out and see the world she has been kept away from. Her story is told with pictures. Both stories have many similarities and the end is very surprising! Wonderstruck is an interesting read, especially for those who liked The Invention of Hugo Cabret.
