Ben's story begins in 1977 in Gunflint Lake, Minnesota. Rose's story begins in1927 in Hoboken, New Jersey. Ben's story is told through words; Rose's story is told through pictures. How Brian Selznick brings their stories together and works in details of the world of museums, Deaf culture, the history of cinema (movies) and some interesting bits about New York City is a true work of art that tells a touching story of family lost and found. Don't let the thickness of this book scare you off. It takes a lot of pictures to tell Rose's story. And you probably won't want to put this book down until you find out how the two stories come together. Don't miss this one!
