A great and clever book. I loved the way the picture story ran alongside the main story. Would recommend for upper KS2.
I love how the stories are told and how they intertwine with each other. Highly recommended.
Absolutely fabulous. Two stories. One of a girl called rose in pictures and one of a boy called Ben in words at the end there is an unexpected twist.
if you like a miserable ending this is the book for you.
It is a very unique book as one half of the story is told in black and white pictures it is a very interesting read with one character who feels secluded from the world and another who cant find who they are missing in it. This story tells of two people finding what they are missing in the the city of opportunities - New York.
Enjoy!
I think you should read this book because it is a good read and contains an inspirational message.
This is a very interesting fantasy book. There are lovely illustrations and a great storyline. Fun for all ages, especially those who enjoyed Hugo Cabret (same author). Do not be put off by the size of it as half of it is an illustrated story!It is a magical book.
Brilliant!
