### Brian Selznick's Wonderstruck

In Wonderstruck (Scholastic, 2011), Brian Selznick conveniently provides in his title the perfect description of a reader's likely reaction. Much like The Invention of Hugo Cabret , Wonderstruck is an enchanting and complex story told in equal parts text and pictures.
Two parallel and eventually intesecting stories unfold.
While Hugo Cabret was a tribute to silent films and the lost art of automata, Wonderstruck celebrates museums and the human impulse to collect and curate.
