Wonderstruck by Brian Selznick 
Ben, who recently lost his hearing, sets off to find his father. Rose, also deaf, begins her journey to find a much admired actress. Their two independent stories , Ben’s told in words and Rose’s in images, are set fifty years apart. As he did in The Invention of Hugo Cabret, Selznick skillfully knits together both children’s quest into a tale of loss, loneliness and finding a place to belong. |
