I am in awe of Brian Selznick's remarkable books told both in words and his trademark black and white illustrations. Here is another masterful creation that blends two stories, one told in words, the other in pictures. And while neither words nor pictures alone can tell the story, reading it is an experience to be savored and enjoyed.

The book opens in 1977 with Ben trying to find his way after the death of his mother, then segues to illustrations that tell the story of Rose in 1927 who dreams about a silent film actress.

Both Ben and Rose wish for a different life. Although their stories are told 50 years apart, there are similarities: both are brave, courageous young people compelled to set out alone on a journey to find what they are missing, and both discover some friendship along the way. Back and forth the stories weave, with the over 460 pages of expressive artwork offering mystery and suspense.

I will leave you to discover how the stories ultimately unfold and intertwine, but believe me, reading this book is its own satisfying journey with an intriguing end you won't want to miss.
