Wonderstruck by Brian Selznick
Ben’s mom died and he never knew his father, so when he was about to phone a listed number for a person named Danny which was scratched on a bookmark for Kincaid’s, a bookstore with a black cat in the window, a bolt of lightning struck the house and the only thing that was ruined was his hearing. So he runs away from the hospital he was lodged at and takes a bus to NYC, where the address for Danny’s apartment was, but no luck. So he decides to try Kincaid’s, maybe they will remember Danny, but when he gets to Kincaid’s the answer is obvious, Kincaid’s is out of business, but where would he find his father? Read the book to find out. But wait! Within Ben’s story is another one, of a deaf girl finding her way in life and has two divorced and hearing parents, who is she? Will Ben ever find out? You should get started soon; the publishing date is September 13, 2011!
This book is 640 pages long. I’ll give it four out of five stars (****)! The genre of this book is realistic fiction.
