Wonderstruck

     In this amazing book, a boy named Ben try's to find his father and a girl runs away to NY. The girl's story is narrated in pictures and Ben's in words. Ben's story starts in Gunflint lake, Minnesota 1977. He is deaf in one ear. But then is struck by lightning and becomes deaf. He go's to a hospitable. But then runs away to NY to find his father. Will he find his father? (I read it, but I do not want to be a spoiler).
    The girl's story starts in Hoboken, NY 1927. She runs away to NY. She go's to her mother a famous movie star. But her mother gets mad because she ran away and she has interrupted her. Then she go's to the Natural History Museum. What will happen next?
    I recommend this book it is full of mysteries, but is not only mystery book. It has drama, almost deaths and more. If you liked The Invention of Hego Crabret, you will like this book.

  1. Luca -- I love the way you build suspense by asking big questions, and resist the urge to be a spoiler! I know lots of friends enjoyed Hugo Cabret, so thanks for making that connection clear!
