"Maybe We are all cabinets of wonders."
Reminiscent of The Invention of Hugo Cabret, a Caldecott winner, Wonderstruck is an absolute must read. The illustrations are mesmerizing and the storyline is suspenseful. Young Ben is rendered deaf with lightning strikes the house and reaches him through the phone line. His mother, a librarian, was killed in an accident, and he is about to place a call in search of his father, whom he has never met. When his story dovetails with Rose's at the museum, be sure you tissues on hand.
