Wonderstruck is a juvenile fiction novel written and illustrated by Brian Selznick. It narrates the story using both words and illustrations, separating each style in its own story and weaving them together at the end.
Description[]
Ben and Rose secretly wish for better lives. Ben longs for the father he has never known. Rose dreams of a mysterious actress whose life she chronicles in a scrapbook. When Ben discovers a puzzling clue in his mother's room and Rose reads an enticing headline in the newspaper, both children set out alone on desperate quests to find what they are missing.
Set fifty years apart, these two independent stories - Ben's told in words, Rose's in pictures - weave back and worth in symmetry.[1]
