Wonderstruck

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Selznick has created a pair of wonderful stories with narrative and illustrations. I was so excited to read this novel, and I'm just excited to tell others about it now that I've finished the book. Not only is the format unique and memorable, but so is the story and the characters. I love the way Selznick switches back and forth between story lines, using both his pictures and his words so well. The suspense he creates in Wonderstruck makes it difficult to put this book down. I look forward to finding out what younger readers think of this one.
