"Wonderstruck" is a children's novel written by Brian Selznick that intertwines two stories set in different time periods. One story follows a young boy named Ben in 1977 who embarks on a journey to find his father after losing his mother. The other story features a girl named Rose in 1927, who seeks to connect with her favorite actress, Lillian Mayhew. The book is notable for its unique format, combining both text and illustrations. Selznick uses detailed drawings to convey emotions and actions, allowing readers to experience the narrative visually as well as through words. This innovative approach enhances the storytelling and engages readers of all ages.
