by Brian Selznick
Ben and Rose secretly wish for better lives. Ben longs for
his unknown father. Rose scrapbooks a famous silent actress. When Ben finds
clues and Rose reads enticing news, the children independently run to New York
for what they are missing. Ben's story in words, Rose's in pictures, come
together in deafness.

The art in this book is breathtaking. The story is captivating. I really enjoyed how strong the characters were. Because of, or in spite of, their young ages. I will try not to do this too much, but I'm going with: just read it! I loved it and now that I'm looking at the cover art, I know I have to read it again.
