I'm always in awe of Brian Selznick and his book; the imagination and work that it takes to create these HUGE books is incredibly astonishing. The Marvels is so cleverly planned out with the drawings and prose intertwine in the most surprising and genius of ways. There is so much heart and magic in this book and readers will be happy to put this one next to Hugo and Wonderstruck. I truly think readers should come into this book knowing as little as possible and avoid reading the summary. The Marvels is truly a work of art and yet another masterpiece from Brian Selznick.
