Wonderstruck

Wonderstruck by Brian Selznick
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Wonderstruck tells the story of Ben and Rose, 2 young people separated by 50 years. Ben's story is told in prose, and Rose's story is told in pictures. Rose is deaf and her mother is ashamed, never being part of her life. Rose chronicles her mother's life in a scrapbook. Ben has never met his father, but when his mother dies he decides to find his father. Both stories intertwine in the end in New York City with a surprising finish.
