Wonder Struck



                                            100 :) ha ha ha 5
Ben and Rose secretly wish their lives were different. 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 forth with mesmerizing symmetry. How they unfold and ultimately intertwine will surprise you, challenge you, and leave you breathless with wonder. Rich, complex, affecting, and beautiful--with over 460 pages of original artwork.






My favorite part of this book is probably when the the two stories- Ben's(words) and Rose's(pictures) join together, I found it really amazing if there was a 10 i would rate it that but since my ratings don't go that high I will have to give it a 5 :) 
I also really loved the illustrations, they were fantastic. I'll list some examples below.


                                                                                   
































See What I mean... :)
