Review Excerpt(s)

“Although the book is hefty, at more than 600 pages, the pace is nevertheless brisk, and the kid-appealing mystery propels the story.”
-       Lynn Rutan (Booklist, Aug. 1, 2011 (Vol. 107, No. 22))

“The provocative narrative, similar in format to the author's The Invention of Hugo Cabret, leaves the reader with much to think about and illustrations to peruse repeatedly.”
-       Ken Marantz and Sylvia Marantz (Children's Literature)

“Visually stunning, completely compelling, Wonderstruck demonstrates a mastery and maturity that proves that, yes, lightning can strike twice.”
- Kirkus (Kirkus Reviews, July 1, 2011 (Vol. 79, No. 13))
