Selznick, Brian.New York : Scholastic Press, c2007.Year: c2007Format: BOOK
10 Second ReviewFollows the adventures of a young orphan living in a train station. While taking care of the stations clocks, he has developed a knack for fixing toys. This is useful because he needs these skills to fix the strange automata he has found.
With almost 300 pages of illustrations, this book redefines the concept of a graphic novel. While there are no captions to the images, skipping the pictures will mean missing important story elements. A fascinating example of the true potential of the graphic novel format.
Don't dismiss this book because it's in the 'kids' section.
