This book was one of the best I have ever read. Sometimes a story can transport you like none other, and this one certainly did that. Wonderstruck takes place in the 1970s, where the main character, Ben, is plagued with life's mishaps that keep piling up. But these don't defeat our hero, and he find...
I actually prefer this one to [b:The Invention of Hugo Cabret|9673436|The Invention of Hugo Cabret|Brian Selznick|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327879761s/9673436.jpg|527941].
