Wonderstruck
Author: Brian
Selznick captivates audiences with this new vivid exciting book. You will fall in love with how he creates two
separate characters in the story but, at the same time intertwines them
beautifully together. Even though, their
events occur 50 years apart, they have one challenge in common they both are
deaf. Their disabilities are somehow connected
intelligently and their stories are weaved together back and forth. Their determination is admirable and makes
the readers connect with their challenges.
Rose’s story (1927) is told by pictures and she longs for a mother who
just can’t be there for her. As for
Ben’s story (1977) it is told by words, and he too also longs for a mother who
recently passed away. They both struggle
with their disabilities but, discover something new and wonderful that will
change their lives forever.
Check out this magnificent illustrated novel
to find out what Rose and Ben discover in their journeys!

will remind you that no matter what obstacle life throws at you, you always
have a choice and how you choose to overcome it. Cece’s standout autobiography will allow you to
