Wonderstruck by Brian SelznickMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Battle of the Books season has begun! Our teacher team has competed the last four years and come in second every time. This year is our year (I hope)! Anyway, Wonderstruck is one of the books on the to-read list this year and I am so glad that it is.
This novel is so special. The story is beautiful and the structure is amazingly unique. Selznick weaves together two different stories - the story of Ben, told through traditional prose and the story of Rose, which is told through pictures. Eventually, the two stories converge and the result is beautiful, a little sad, but wonderful. It is truly a wonderful book.
