Every year my students tell me that it was their favorite book that we read. When Wonderstruck came out I had to get it. I read it with my daughter who just turned 9. She will tell you that it was the best book she's ever read. It took a little while to understand the relationship of two different stories going on at the same time in different time periods, but you knew they were going to intertwine somewhere and that was so much fun to guess what was going to happen. Wonderstruck is a great book to discuss prediction, foreshadowing, author's point of view and the deaf world. Selznick's drawings are beautiful and tell a story in very vivid detail. If you liked Hugo you will love Wonderstruck!Ceskahttp://blog.fatshenanigans.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088702729460953718.post-434869170087173042011-11-06T21:13:14.565-04:002011-11-06T21:13:14.565-04:00bellezza - there's going to be a movie? cool. ...bellezza - there's going to be a movie? cool.

Love that you loved it, as the first was such an adventure in imagination and I'm glad to hear that this one doesn't disappoint. Even the to-be-released film <i>Hugo</i> seems promising.Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.com
