Beautiful, beautiful book. "Wonderstruck" by Brian Selznick is described on the title page as "a novel in words and pictures", but that doesn't really do it justice. 
 "Wonderstruck" follows two separate timelines and tell two separate stories, one set in 1927 and one in 1977. One story is told in narrative form, the other through Selznick's gorgeous black and white drawings. The connections between the two stories became apparent as you move deeper into the book. To say much about either story or their connection would be to ruin some of the joys to be found in discovering the riddles and links contained in "Wonderstruck". 
 I'll just say that I was moved, much more so than I expected to be, and really relished the experience of reading this lovely book with my 9-year-old son. I'd recommend it for parents and children to read together, but also wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to adults to read on their own.
