Ben and Rose secretly wish their lives were different. So when Ben finds a clue in his mother's room and Rose reads a headline in the newspaper, both children set out on a quest to find what they are missing. Their stories--Ben's told in words and Rose's in pictures--are set fifty years apart, and the ways they are similar and how they intertwine are sure to amaze its readers.
I had heard that this was a good book and it sounded interesting, but when I saw that one story was in words and the other was pictures, I thought it wouldn't be good. Wouldn't it just be confusing and hard to follow?
However I was very wrong. Wonderstruck is a wonderful book, and both stories are unique and engaging. Rose's story isn't at all hard to follow. And I liked how the stories were connected.
