Having lost his mother and his hearing in a short time, twelve-year-old Ben leaves his Minnesota home in 1977 to seek the father he never knew in New York City, and meets there Rose, who is also longing for something missing from her life. Ben's story is told in words; Rose's in pictures.
Beautiful and mysterious, this lovingly crafted book may be a little too much of the same as his other book, but it still is absolutely enjoyable. I love the flipping back and forth between written words and the black and white drawings. I also thought that using images to emphasize the silence of the deaf was a well used tool. ( )
In the 1970s, a boy goes in search of his father in New York City after his mother dies. In the 1920s, a deaf girl runs away from home to New York City to escape her unhappy home life. By the end, the two stories are intertwined. Like [b:Hugo Cabret|9673436|The Invention of Hugo Cabret|Brian Selznick|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51VcEWaqKWL._SL75_.jpg|527941], the story's told in both prose and pictures. The mystery of Ben's father combined with the mystery of how his story will meet up with Rose's really drives the book. I actually raced through the book, so I failed to notice a lot of the neat details in the illustrations that reveal themselves on closer inspection. ( )
fascinating mysterious story, told alternately in written language and pencil drawings. accurate details and backgrounds are well-researched. a must for any juv collection. ( )
The two stories come together at the climax of the book, which manages to incorporate an impressive array of heartfelt issues: everything from education for the deaf to friendship, love of collecting, conservation, memories and dioramas. As I turned the pages my heart was well and truly warmed in that way beloved of a certain type of American children's literature – earnest, life affirming, educational, and impossible to dislike. Reaching the end I leafed back through the 460 pages of Wonderstruck, admiring the pictures, all thoughts of my daughter now banished. Honestly, Brian, I do know how you can be bothered.

He discovered a small blue book, its covers soft and creased with age. On the front, the title was stamped in black letters: WONDERSTRUCK. He flipped through the pages. The book was about the history of museums. On the back it said: Published by the American Museum of Natural History, New York, New York.
Ben remembered reading about curators in Wonderstruck, and thought about what it meant to curate your own life, as his dad had done here. What would it be like to pick and choose the objects and stories that would go into your own cabinet? How would Ben curate his own life? And then, thinking about his museum box, and his house, and his books, and the secret room, he realized he’d already begun doing it. Maybe, thought Ben, we are all cabinets of wonders.
