Wonderstruck Schneider Family Book Award Middle School Winner Brian Selznick Books

When I contacted my son-in-law to ask if he recalled the title of the book that the boy had taken out of the library several times, we discovered he had it out yet again. I ordered this immediately figuring that any book an 8 year-old boy gets out of the library 4-5 times is one he'd like to own. Well chosen! As a former college instructor in children's literature, I loved this book the first time I saw it, and I can see why my grandson kept being drawn to it. Highly recommend this for helping kids develop both textual and visual literacies. There is a great deal of interaction possible with young people enjoying this book such as making up stories for various pictures, even stories not related to Wonderstruck and do a "your turn" type of shared story looking at the marvelously rich black-and-white drawings and building a story together using the images. LOVE, love, love this book! If and when I ever teach children's or adolescent lit again, this one will be included in the curriculum.Wonderstruck (Schneider Family Book Award - Middle School Winner)

Wonderstruck Schneider Family Book Award Middle School Winner Brian Selznick Books Reviews

Hugo Cabret was the first “Chapter Book” that I read to my kids as episodes over several nights. I enjoyed it as much as they did - so when we finished that - we decided to give Wonderstruck a shot. I did not know the story nor that a movie is being made. My dd knew the author from school. The story is beautiful and while a different plot - it does feel connected to Hugo, in many of the themes - making it great for insightful discussions (yes we are geeky like that). I will not spoil commenting on the plot, but this is a book you should own. It is a beautiful book.
I read this because it is being made into a film, and because I am studying ASL. This book is a simple introduction into a child's deaf world, starting back in the 1920s, to a suddenly-deaf child today learning to get around in his silent world.
I liked how Rose's story was told with pictures since she was deaf. Well done and very clever! I would've liked more sign language in the story, but a hearing author who hasn't learned sign language and only briefly studied Deaf culture obviously wouldn't have the background for that.
I'm interested to see how this story is translated on the big screen.
I have so enjoyed all of Brian Selznick's creative and thoughtful books, and this one is no different. I want to note, however, that the big sticker "Now A Major Motion Picture" on the dust jacket made me unhappy. It also left a mark when I removed it (I may be overly fussy). Publishers, knock off the extra advertising at the expense of the integrity of the book.
Wonderstruck by Brian Selznick is a powerful book on many levels.

First, let's talk about the use of images. Selznick tells two stories that merge into one for a climatic ending. One is told through text and the others images. This exciting approach works perfectly with the narrative of the story.

Second, let's talk about time periods. The historical nature of the book was fascinating. Often books with dual stories take place in the past and the present. I like the way the the book focused on two time periods in the past. It was also interesting that the book wasn't centered on well-known events. Instead the narrative used time periods that reflects the story, the characters, and the topics.

Third, let's talk about the themes. From interesting topics such as museums and adventure to serious issues related to deafness and family, the book did an outstanding job delving into these engaging subjects.

I'm not much of a crier but I'll admit to lots of tears as the two stories came together!

Selznick's awards are already stacked high. This will make his mountain of award-winning works even higher. I can't wait for this next title using this text/image dual story approach.

Wow… can I give this book 6 stars?
Brian Selznick is both a great writer and a highly talented illustrator. You may be more familiar with one of his earlier books, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, which was made into a great movie by Martin Scorcese. Wonder Struck's primary market may well be young people, but I happened to buy this for myself--I'm 44--and I enjoyed it tremendously for its brilliant visuals, expert pacing, and inspiring story.

It's a gorgeous book, with wonderful black and white illustrations that tell a one part of the story line, plus prose segments that tell a different story line. Eventually, as you would expect, the two story lines merge. It's a great book to read with a child, and talk about what's happening on each illustration page. It unfolds almost cinematically, and there's a fun kind of mystery to it. Although it's a thick volume at over 600 pages, it's a quick read since most of the pages are illustrations. But you'll want to linger on many of those pages.
