Wonderstruck by Brian Selznick


Selznick, B. (2011).  Wonderstruck. New York: Scholastic.

Wonderstruck is a wonderfully written/illustrated book about a boy named Ben whose mother died in a tragic accident leaving him to wonder about the father he never knew with no one to understand him, while at the same time,  Rose, a young girl who lived 50 years before, is on a similar quest.  While Ben's story is written, Rose's is beautifully illustrated in a way that reader's practice comprehension without words and understanding is way that leaves them with a very unique reading experience.
