Wonder Struck by Brian Selznick
Twelve year old Ben looses his mother and while looking through the things his mother left behind, a freak accident leaves him deaf. Afraid, lonely, and longing to belong to a family again leads him on a mission to find the father he never knew and to New York city.
Brian Selznick continues to amaze me with his ability to tell a story without words. Wonder Struck uses words to tell one story and illustrations to tell a completely different story, and somehow Selznick makes the two stories come together and the reader say AHH! If you loved The Invention of Hugo Cabret like I did you will not be disappointed with Wonder Struck.
